Love devs' attitude towards piracy, TruePianos v1.9.8 (audio VSTi plugin)
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
This message showed when I entered the serial specifically made for pirates. Right now feeling nothing but respect for plugin devs. Next month Imma buy this plugin 100% fixed, need it or don't need it doesn't matter anymore lol.
That sounds like EULA territory, ergo, not defensible in court
Can’t say you didn’t know the key was pirated when you bought it off kijiji if there’s this warning.
It removes a potential defence, it’s not for them to admit any evidence, it’s to destroy your rebuttals.
How can they sue you if they literally say they don't oppose the use of this pirated serial and it's okay to do and the software will continue working?
If anything if you agree to this you can sue them if they ever disable this key because they agreed to accept it.
Do you even know how contracts/agreements work?
Do you really think this is a contract or agreement of legal enforceability? Holy hell.
If they actually used this for that reason it would be to merely remove your defense of saying you didn’t know you bought a pirated copy. They don’t even need you to agree to it, a splash screen would be enough.
Look up the legal principle of estoppel. In general you can't turn around and sue someone for doing something after informing them (in writing no less) that you're okay with it, even if you would otherwise have had a valid basis to sue.
"my friend gave it to me as a gift. What's Kijiji?"
And you said you acknowledged it was pirated, doesn’t matter where you got it from…..
You didn't, you typed the words "I understand", which isn't acknowledgement of comprehension, exactly the same as it is when you "accept the EULA" after not having read it. The very thing that has been deemed non-defensible for EULA litigation.
Oh man this thread makes me miss Reddit.
