Reply to Just a little FU to NI.

I love Maschine. When I was on Traktor, I liked it just fine.

But, seriously, Service Center is the worst Piece of Shit anit-piracy software I've ever seen, and it doesn't even work. There is not a damn thing you make that isn't cracked on [that site we all know about but can't mention], and their installers are way less of a pain in the ass. And the way you distribute installers is a joke.

Thank you for making me, a paying customer, seriously question the point of bothering to install a legal copy of Maschine because I decided to format my drive when I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

Installing Pro Tools, on the other hand, was simple. I just did it, with an installer they give away for free in an easy to find part of their website, plugged in my iLok, and it works. No muss, no fuss. No headaches. No screaming.

Just start building dongles into your hardware. How often to people really use Maschine or Traktor or any of your other crap without any NI hardware plugged in?

It's 2012. Stealing software happens. Deal with it. Ignore it. Whatever. But don't punish legitimate users because you believe your shit's worth it.

Every time I start up Service Center or have to install your software, I believe about ditching the lot and moving to something else. The next time it happens, I won't be coming back.

And unfortunately for you, your website is so damn slow, I've got plenty of time to believe about alternatives before I actually waste the disk space.
