Lol everytime I read this argument I think of the software VirtualDJ. It was notorious for being the DJ software to use about a decade and a half ago as pirate copies were everywhere! Fast forward to today and you can read post after post from ex pirate user that's now a paid user. VirtualDJ have one of the more expensive software licenses on the market in that sector too. I wonder if many other software companies have had similar experiences?
- fsloth 4y agoThat describes the progression from a poor hobby user to a more affluent hobbyist/pro. The market I know and meant (CAD) there is no such progression and the way to make the pirate users licensed users is to give them one call, offer a chance to buy an official license, and if this does not work inform the authorities. Legal procedures though likely need a way bigger org than 15 persons.
- ilyt 4y agoI'd imagine most of that is out of annoyance of dealing with pirate version or just them finally being able to afford it as it is now part of their job. I feel like easiest way to monetize apps like that would be free noncommercial license. Want to DJ your school party ? Go ahead, as long as nobody pays you it's fine, and if someone does, well, now you have money for license. You're also building potential user base, when everyone can play with your software without limits many will pick it when they will do something commercial
- crtasm 4y agoYep, VirtualDJ has a free version. It doesn't let you use a hardware controller though. https://virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/price.html#comparison https://virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/price.html#comparis...
