Speculation, but they could be gearing up to ruin the software by converting it to a subscription service based model.

  Audacity is great for minor tweaks and such, but I can't imagine in a million years paying a subscription for it

  1. FUD 2. FUD 3. FUD Seriously you add crash reporting to your app and all the idiots who can't read swarm like flies. Reddit and HN actually sell your info, and they're using this for crash reporting. My head hurts so badly.

    What a crass remark! First of all, learn how to talk on a public forum without coming out like a total jackass. Second, read the actual text. > Personal Data we collect > Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities’ requests (if any) They don't disclose exactly what they collect. That is the very definition of shady, and grounds enough for a privacy sensitive user to abandon the software. It's not just "crash reporting" as you proclaim. Moreover, if you think they won't sell it, I quote again from the original announcement (which, if you made the effort to read, would have saved us this conversation) > Who does Audacity share your Personal Data with? > to a potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your Personal Data only for the purposes disclosed in this Notice;

      That is clearly referring to a buyer of their company and clearly indicates that your data still can't be sold.

Try as you might, you'll never get to space that way; all you're doing is killing your braincells (which is probably why your head hurts!)

Privacy is becoming a thing of the past... everything you touch spies on you and report back to the Government. It is nuts... but it will only get a lot worst, before it gets better. "The Internet of Spying Things"
