Join Jonathan Williamson and myself, Jonathan Lampel, as we talk about how Blender's Open Source GPL license affects the users and creators of free and paid Blender addons.
If you make addons, use addons, or are just spectating the Twitter debates about addon piracy, this is a discussion you won't want to miss!
I think the big companies almost turn a blind eye to piracy at a certain level. If it ensures they keep the mantle of "industry standard"
Better is to rely upon on open source
Jonathan, your mic is a little bit low :)
using cracked software for proffessional work can actually backfire really bad, in terms of copyright.
not to mention the pr0n lol :P
Guiltware. ;-)
that takes balls to admit nice Williamson
i pirated 3dsmax 2.5 back in the day
I always said that if I made any money from Photoshop or Corel Painter I would buy them, I did and I did.
I missed that teenager phase about pirating PS, LOL. i was an adult when Photoshop was born. Damn it. i am tpp old. LOL
