THIS is the reason that "resale ability" and "resale price" are so important to me. 
If I buy a plugin for $100, and then decide that "it's not what I need", then I need to
be able to get the majority of that money back.  Sadly, most companies are NOW
making that virtually impossible!  This FEE and that FEE etc...etc...and LOW resale
price makes plugins a BAD investment for ANY Studio Owner...let alone us "hobbyists"

That's the reason people pirate the crap out of them. They want us to treat their digital goods as physical items, but when we try to do the same thing... oops, you can't do that.

Very true...and very sad.  Buying a plugin should be the same as buying a piece of hardware.
Once you don't need it, or go out of business, you should be able to sell it without paying the
company a "fee".  While it's true that it's only a "license", that license is YOURS!  It's like paying
the company TWICE....once for the privilege of using it, and once for the privilege of NOT using
it.

I'm pretty sure some sleazy lawyer concocted that. I don't need a license for a can of beans now, do I? ? Like they concocted the Public Performance License... ?

In terms of being power hungry, forum administrators are the worst...actually second worst, just behind condo board presidents?

 Whoever it is should have at least "asked me", or, at the bare minimum, given me
some kind of "warning" if I had violated some "policy".

That would be the fair thing to do. They seldom do that. In my case they didn't either. Someone needs to grow a pair....anyways. I'm glad it all worked out and you're back in now. I'm not sure I would want to go back. Let them see how much traffic you likely brought there for them. Then again, why let one individual with a corn cob up his hiney ruin your day.

They shouldn't just restore Larry's account, they should also fire the admin responsible for the mishap.

I guess I sort of self banned.....  Too many inane silly quests and questions over there.  " How can I run 24 instances of  x reverb " type of stuff.

[Fleer]

Mmmm. A self-ban, now there’s a pretty, pretty good idea. 

[craigb]

Good to hear they "saw the light" Larry!  I'll stop looking for my password now.

(Which would have definitely only resulted in my making one flaming post before I was banned as well! ?)

I think I know what you are saying and I agree. It still creaped me out a little bit though.

Some f you may have heard of Freecycle.  Mods ruined it.

OK Larry,

You can't be tried for the same crime twice ....   Now that you have been cleared of all dealing charges, you can go back to dealing now.    ?

Have to love the "Double Jeopardy" clause!

What those numbskulls at KVR haven't figured out (yet) is that Larry isn't the dealer, he's the pusher!!
