I bought FL because of the lifetime free updates (how can you not feel like you're getting your moneys worth?) and also own about 80% of the samples I have. Just not VEC which I oddly wound up using the most.
As far as piracy goes I don't care nor do I have much of a moral dilemna about it. I remember vividly the first time I went to buy a VST (after buying FL) and looked at the price and thought "wait, this almost costs just as much as FL does itself". And for w/e reason that turned me off a lot towards buying vsts. I was shocked at the time. These are tools, not the house I keep the tools in, and so I felt justified stealing them.
Afterall, if the developers didn't want me to steal them, they'd just use common sense and drop their fuckn prices right? Thats my main issue, not the whole paying money thing, but the amounts some of these companies actually charge. It has a lot more to do with greed than the actual value of their time imo. And for cheaper synths like vangard, I had absolutely no issue spending what I thought was actually worth it.
And another reason of course is why spend that money on fake sounding software... when I can just steal it, and save my money to buy nonfake sounding hardware? Like "hmm, should I buy z3ta, zebra, blue and albino this week... or just 1 andromeda?" The answer for me will always be the andromeda lol.
