Question: "Do you know about R2R? What do you think of this team (or company, or organization)? They have cracked literally every audio DAW, VST, VSTi plugin you can think of, including all the famous ones like Waves, Pianoteq, and even super-expensive virtual instruments like ivory grand pianos. Even REAPER has a keygen made by them. If you roughly calculate the number of things they’ve cracked, it’s absolutely astonishing. Do you think such a team should face legal judgment?"

    meh re legal enforcement. cracking software should be considered speech (though distributing cracked versions should still be considered copyright infringement). anyway, thankfully their reaper keygens require a modified .exe, which is an adequate threshold for annoyance.
