Sorry for that.
As I've written before:
"*It is tax deductible for professional studios and they would pay for
an Ardour that is comparable to Pro Tools, Samplitude, Nuendo*. Why
don't you go this way?
Enough said by me.
It shouldn't be an assault. Especially the tax deductible for
professional studios isn't an assault, but a hint. This is the way how
proprietary companies work. All the kids are using cracks, but studios
pay a lot of money, when the quality is good. If Ardour's quality is
comparable, than there shouldn't be a problem to sell Ardour."
I guess that way Paul should get the money he needs.
