I've been looking at upgrading my amp/modeller setup and had started saving for a Kemper after discussions in this thread. Last night I ran across the video below on Youtube and it really shook my belief in whether I wanted to support this kind of technology. Regardless, it's a great question for discussion. After watching all three videos in his series I'm really torn.

Basically he's saying that by purchasing or sharing third party digital amp profiles for cheap or free, we are devaluing the work and research amp makers are doing to the point of it not having a financial incentive to continue. We've seen this in the music industry, and I have personal experience in the world of software too. I think he makes a very good point and I hadn't even considered it before.
