As an aside, emulation of vintage synthesizers is getting pretty damn
good (Hammond, Clavinet, Fender, etc.) Some are direct samples, some
are emulated. Even the cheaper ones sound respectable. Of course you

Following up on this thread - the software industry often mentions
billions in losses due to piracy. But is that based upon an estimate of
how many illegal copies of software packages are in use, or is it based
on an estimate of how many people use copied products but would actually

They estimate the demand for software, then compare it
to the actual shipment of legal products - the
difference is the percentage of pirated software
