A record producer I worked with - liked working with a lot actually - impressed me the most when, asked how we wre going to deal with a certain problem, said: "I'm not sure (yet)".
But don't be too hard on anybody here because of linguistic preferences....
back to piracy: Software companies and developers could go a long way to encourage loyalty. Building and maintaining a relationship with Cross-grades, upgrades, fair pricing, support; for example, Advanced Orchestra came out last year, completely re-worked for EXS. I bought it. The price was fair and it was a major update. Miroslav Vitous, on the other hand -(which I would probably like to buy too) is an example of a great library which needs a price drop and a reworking IMHO. Dan Dean is very cool, takes care of his customers. Steinberg don't endear themselves to me - The Grand will probably never appear as Audio Unit! VSL are tops in support, and their prices are (mostly) very fair I think.
End of rant mode.
