Hahahaha, I've so been where he was at with wanting to check a mix but not having the iLok on me. Rage. All the rage. This is why I've been so slow to embrace the Slate stuff. I totally dig the sound of the plugins that I own, but hate the thought of being locked out of sessions I'm working on if something goes south and there's no sighted help on tap at that point, so I only end up using them sparingly. Even when there is sighted assistance readily available here, sometimes I struggle to get past feeling very demoralized about admitting that I need people to click this or drag that just in order to do something as simple as play this thing that it took me hours to kick into shape.
The problem here is that for legitimate users who buy stuff (of which I am one more often than not), isn't any protection too much protection? Whilst it doesn't prevent it entirely, iLok does do a reasonable job of cutting down on piracy, so from a developer's perspective, why bother reinventing the wheel? I honestly don't know anybody who doesn't have to consider the accessibility implications that's held out on plugin purchases indefinitely because they didn't like the DRM used. It might take them longer to buy, they'll gripe and moan until the cows come home once they have, but they still bought it in the end. It's ugly, but it does pretty much serve it's purpose doesn't it? On 7/9/15, TheOreoMonster <[email protected]> wrote: > How appropriate that i found this this morning.
