This is sadly true. I used to make a bit of music and I knew several people who would simply hoard pirated plugins and sample libraries, even if they'd never use them. I think it's an extension of "gear acquisition syndrome".

When even Kanye has been caught pirating plugins, what hope do vendors have.

Are you the same kibibu who made a bunch of Buzz plugins? Because I used them. Somewhat on topic, the Buzz audio plugin format is some single-header sweetness.

Yep! Some fantastic people in the buzz community, I miss it
