This message showed when I entered the serial specifically made for pirates. Right now feeling nothing but respect for plugin devs. Next month Imma buy this plugin 100% fixed, need it or don’t need it doesn’t matter anymore lol.

    For creative software like that, the vast majority of people getting it pirated are amateurs, and if they get good enough, they’ll eventually be paying back.

    Same thing with photoshop, if I hadn’t pirated it, I NEVER would have developed the skill set required to use it effectively. Piracy is the company getting thousands of future potential customers for free. How many thousands of people pirated it and went on to work professionally and pay for it? Adobe wouldn’t be near what it is without piracy.
