Brad,

The question is in the thread title.

Thanks for your reply, Scott.

I’ve no idea if “cracked” plugins are still a thing. I guess that no matter how sophisticated copy protection systems get, there will always be those that try to circumvent those systems.

However, I’m a musician and hobbyist photographer, and use many associated forums. I don’t know of another s/w company that prohibits the general public from reading their help forums. Official Pro Tools,  Cubase, and Adobe forums are available for all to read.

Martin, I have to say, that was my first thought.

I can’t, for the life of me, think of another reason why Toontrack wouldn’t want potential purchasers checking out the “Help” forum. As I said before, there’s far more useful info there.

It’s a given that there are users of any product that will have issues with it – that wouldn’t put me off purchasing a product. However, what does put me off purchasing, is the feeling that a company is deliberately trying to hide something.

I occasionally check here to see if Toontrack have relented, but alas… :((

Maybe Toontrack fear that they wouldn’t be able to cope with the overwhelming demand if they were to reintroduce a discounted upgrade! 😉
