Apart from the gray area of one of your moderators condoning the use of cracked software ? 
As a software engineer I read this sh*t and despair.
Yeah, well the moderators speak for themselves and do not represent the opinions of the owners of the forums. I do not condone cracks in the slightest, big company or small - there's always someone who ends up paying for it, usually the workers on minimum wage or certainly the end consumers who do pay extra for the software in the first place.
Anyway - I actually think everything has been said that needs to be said about this subject, it all gets really tedious in the end as the crackers don't see anything wrong (except when they themselves eventually get their own work ripped off - they soon come crying on the forums about how someone ripped off one of their beats or ripped them off on ebay, etc), so let's lock this thread and stick to talking about technical MPC stuff.
