I think they ask too much money for these programs. That's illegal to me as well.
But yeah... you shouldn't do it I guess

I would say it's way cooler to own an original copy of Cubase than a cracked copy.. it makes you look more professional and also gives an impression that your serious about what your doing.
....and also if you were to have any problems with Cubase that isnt covered in the pdf file, you can get full service from the Steinberg support. As far as i know, Cubase 4 isnt cracked yet. No group has managed to make a working crack for it, so the last version thats available illegaly is SX3. Why settle for an old version when you can have the latest one legally?

There are to reasons to buy it:
A Because it's illegal to copy it (not entirely true but anyway...) B Because you want to support the creator. Imho only the second thing really matters. There are valid arguments that proprietary software itself is unethical. If you'd like to hear them just listen to Richard Stallman. That's why I prefer free (as in freedom! not just as in free beer!) software. There I don't have to care about stupid copyright laws preventing my from doing something I'd like to... - Jonas This post has been edited by 29a: Feb 4 2009, 09:50 PM -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

Personally, I buy stuff like this because I LOVE the feeling of the real (legal) deal in my hands! There's nothing that compares with it!

Be careful to not suggest working torrents or suggest functioning versions. Discussing illegal software is a topic we're not allowing at GMC. This thread still lives because it's got a stance for buying software for different reasons.
To be on the safe side against mod actions don't bring up anything illegal. /Micke on behalf of the moderator team -------------------- My bands homepage

Supporting Steinberg and buying original product will ensure that you will have more great products from Steinberg. Case closed.

QUOTE (skennington @ Feb 4 2009, 08:40 PM)  It's illegal and a direct violation of copyright laws. Best answer IMO I think morale don't apply here

People who made that great software (Cubase or whatever else we are dealing with in Music) deserve their share and cut for their hard work.

Ask your friend if he likes working for free. End of discussion.
Also, if you don't want to spend that much, try Reaper, it's very good also, and only $50 but free to try indefinitely without paying. -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger..
