BTW, thanks to Andy for all the background information. In particular the stuff about the
history of virtual reality software and the links to military applications is not
something that gets talked about a great deal.
Furthermore, racial
profiling is a reality, whether we like it or not. Debt collection agencies will target
those debtors first that appear to be the easiest targets. There is nothing racist about
acknowledging this fact.
Bottom line:
Waves = Capable products
& atrocious management.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this previously in this thread, but I just noticed this: http://www.imsta.org/imsta_notes.htmlIMSTA sound like an
organsiation I can respect. Non profit, non agressive. IMSTA represent over 80 different
companies. Banpiracy appear still to exclusively represent Waves. I must admit
I'm surprised I had never heard of IMSTA before.

Many thanks for the link, and it's good to see that IMSTA - which genuinely represents a
cross section of the industry rather than a morally bankrupt, aggressive, bunch of
shysters -
"do not favor, nor would we ever participate in prosecution or
any similarly aggressive methods."
It's fun to watch Waves execute one of the
longest suicide notes in history though.
It looks like anyone genuinely
concerned about this issue might be better off in the IMSTA camp. From some past
professional experience of political lobbying etc, I know who I would rather listen to if
I were a legislator.

I dunno, it seems this has mostly blown
over. There's the usual Waves-hate of course, but I can see a huge amount of talk about
banpiracy any more after the initial wave of outrage...

Well, what are they doing then? Do they still send their software Gestapo around?

Don't know about that. I was chatting about banpiracy with a mate of mine who works in
retail and he says he hasn't sold a Waves plug-in for over a year. Their products come
with so much baggage at the moment (anybody out there had fun with WUP?), I don't think a
lot of potential customers can simply be arsed? I know I can't...
