Another reason for not releasing this info at the moment is that I really don't want to publicise his 'business'. He himself doesn't seem to have made much effort in marketing this second site (yet?), but for a casual observer it seems completely legit, he just comes across as a reseller of mine and Akai's expansions, offering 70% off retail. Not sure what he's thinking, he's not even tried to disguise his identity, it took 5 minutes of cross referencing his various sites to collect everything we need to start proceedings against him.

Maybe I could be wrong, but wouldn’t that be a jackpot win for you if you put him to court?
They could easy figure out how many got the newsletter. If he has many people subscribed that would sum up to a big claimable loss for you..

Edit: just saw that you are already considering that

how dumb can one person be to think, there will be no consequences?
sue him good and let's hope, there is enough money as a redemption for lost customers to get.

two friends of mine start with a mpc one these days, i already recommended them the bible :]

no respect of any kind for the hard work of others ... we click we share we publish we like we hate we comment we troll we hide ... i've always, & i really mean always, paid for every software, music or book i liked ... i proudly read the book i paid, i enjoy more the music i like, i don't wait the freeze of the vst i buy ...
what's the point filling up a hard drive when you don't read, listen, use or enjoy the stuff you steal !!!

stollen bible = thieves producers = bitter music ... KARMA

Small claims process specifically for copyright cases (up to $30k) won't be available until spring apparently, but looks promising as it would simplify the entire process and significantly reduce the cost of bringing action.

I am all about the smoke ;-) just kidding

People need to recognize that if we steal from andy; We will eventually lose this forum & all the tools that come with it [MPC-SAMPLES, etc.]

We all must survive in capitalism & Chief Avgosti is no exception !
