People Charging For their Plugins that they made is a Cheep And Easy way of making Money IF its one of Nullsoft Made then thats fair enough But people charging $5 or $10 for something they made in 5 minutes Seriously Think Before you Buy People

Stupid people make stupid comments.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying the software you like, even if it is a plug-in. It tells the developer you support him and to keep improving it.
If you however decide to steal all the software you want through different file sharing sites, the quality of the software you get will most certainly diminish, as the developer has expenses to make his software, but you have robbed him of his income.
And so what if he happens to make a little money on the side, if you don't like buying it, don't steal it either, make one yourself!!!

What 5 minutes you must be having a laugh.
What a 80,000 lines of code? Years in devolpment. You obvioulsy do not know what you are talking about.
Obviously you have know idea about any programming or computers or sense of time. Apart from the sense of time to spam the boards with your drivel.
Theives like yourself do wonders for software devolpment in general.
*sigh* the stupidest people

"...if you don't like buying it, don't steal it either, make one yourself!!!"
Or just find another... :p
Personally, I think it's stupid to buy a visual plug-in, since there's so many good free ones. I agree on that one. Think about it - paying for a program that just draws pretty pictures and goes with beats of the music? Something I probably have over a dozen or two of right now, free? Nah. DSPs are different, there aren't as many of those free that sound really good, and I actually think they're usually worth it (some of them)... for a while, at least.
I have (bought) DFX and Ozone, both are pretty good, and tried OctiMax... it's good, possibly the best, but for 50 bucks, I sure as hell ain't buying it. I wouldn't be surprised if like all these other developers/companies, when it reaches the next version number, they charge you yet again just to keep getting software updates. And many don't even give you a damn discount... it's pathetic. Guess I'll just keep the OctiMax install file on my hard drive in case I change my mind sometime.
I still only have Ozone 1.0 for WA2/WA3 since I can't get the 2.0 update. And now I consider it a complete waste. Something similar happened with DFX for WA2/WA3 - same thing actually, just different version numbers. Another waste of money. So, I guess all plug-ins you pay for are a waste now that I think of it. :down:

I don't realy understant the purpose or the DSP plugins, if you dont have good audio sustem connected to your PC you wont get good sound from winamp or other media player, and remembet one thing!!!--good sound is original sound! I never use any DSP plugin :)

What I think really irks most plugin developers are people who are making money using their plugins(dj's, clubs, etc.)

i don't like the term buy, not everybody has money to buy something. when people use the term donate I'm much happier and WILL donate when i can afford to.
