guilt license

mr man, calmness please, everything is cool. i thought we were just talking about some salient points to people who try and make music these days. i have tried to meet you halfway on many things. certainly i don't disagree with everything you've said, but i posted in the first place because i thought you were taking a pretty insensitive stance on issues that i personally think are potentially damaging to art and artists when handled insensitively... but screw it, i don't think i'm getting anywhere... anyway i clearly was carried away with the whole thing, sorry casssios. i am curious though: anyone used this software called REAPER? (if you haven't heard of it, and you use protools / nuendo style multirack editing, maybe worth a look) thing is, they use a purely guilt-based revenue model. no copy protection whatsoever beyond a six-second reminder period each launch. the software is a masterpiece of programming; it takes about 2 seconds to boot anyway so 6 secs is no loss of functionality compared to the leading products. i'm curious if this will work for the people who made it. perhaps it will since it's such a small development group. interesting example for the rest of the intellectual property world in either case.
