Sorry John, but you are not really giving iLok the finger with the "buy legit, use the crack" strategy. When you buy a legitimate copy some of that money is going to Pace.

If you really want to end iLok you need to stop supporting vendors who use it. And let them know why.

Hmm... Never thought of it that way, but you're right...

Good point by Magic Russ. Give your money to companies such as FabFilter, Voxengo, HorNet, ValhallaDSP, u-He and Meldaproduction. The more profitable they are, the weaker Pace's sales pitch is.

Always worth a re post.
The closest thing to that is iLok. But the problem with a system like that is that it gives the most important control of your product to another company...and you have to go along with their way of doing things, even if that's NOT the way you want to do business. Not only that, but if something happens to that company or that system, then it affects everybody...hundreds of products and hundreds of thousands of users! The concept of paying for a system like that, when we can do a better job of it in-house is extremely distasteful to me.

It's weird....we lose some sales to Pro Tools users because we don't use iLok and they prefer to have a dongle. But if we did, there are many thousands more of our users that would hate going to a dongle system. (and offering both dongle and dongless methods just complicates things, providing less reliability, more tech support and less security as well).

I just would never trust another company (especially PACE) with such a valuable and key part of my business and how I interact with my customers.  Eric Pershing, Founder of Spectrasonics.
