I read the thread, and although BFD made a statement, Superior didn't did they? So in my eyes, if we both own the software and the sample packs, sharing .dsnds isn't an issue.
I'm not saying Superior would agree with that, it just seems right that if two people have paid for the same software, and they can both produce exactly the same results, then it doesn't make a difference which user the file comes from - it will be identical and therefore indiscernable between users.
E.G.
User 1 and
User 2 both have superior 2 and
software pack x. Both users use
instrument x to bounce 99 samples for each of
instrument x's two zones to .wav files using identical settings. Both users then create .dsnd files from those .wav files. It makes no difference, the results will be identical. As such there is no
piracy taking place.
In other words, unless the actual act of using bounced .wav files from SD 2 to make .dsnd files (to be played through the 2Box) is prohibited by Superior (and there is no evidence that it is) I can't see that there would be any legal grounds to distinguish between User 1 and User 2's .dsnd files.
At the same time, I don't think Superior would pursue a small community of 2Boxer's because they are triggering their software and samples in a different way than usual - I'm sure they are just happy another person has bought an SD 2 licence!
Plus Jman, despite what is said over on V-Bum forums in that thread (they are all so serious
), as you will know, once you get accustomed to the software, it doesn't take long at all to make quality .dsnds and they perform great.
Anyway, what do you guys think they would do? Come to your house and destroy your SD cards?
