Hi
Yes but that’s rather a broad statement.
It depends entirely on you source of such software,
Not that I am encouraging it you understand.
Far better to try one of the many free trials some have a very generous life span and functionality . Then if you like it buy it often at a discount from a trial.

It's unfortunate that simply stealing is not enough to deter many folks.

Sad that we even have to discuss the simple concept of “honesty” in this light. Most people would never steal a car, but software theft seems like a victimless crime. That is unless your the owner of the product.

There are many gifted, talented, kind folk out there that spend many, many years getting to know things that they put down for other people to use. There are also many people busting their guts to get to know stuff that they decide to share to make things better for others. Do they deserve to get paid? There are other people improving the way technology is used to some personal great sacrifice. Should they be paid?
I pay for software because it is right to do so. Not because I have to but I support those that do the hard yards. I must be nuts because I often even support “free stuff” that ask for a donation. I also offer help where I think it can do some good because I can.
I get very p%ssed orf at people knocking off software. (But I was in the IT business and development area for many years.). Sorry if my language offends.

Good Lord, how can they do this, one guy has even sold 32 copies!
I thought surely that the program needs to be activated and has only a limited amount of activations as well before they run out, three I believe.
So it seems not only do they want the program for nothing they want to make money out of it as well.
Very disturbing.

Hmmm
Yes as you say very disturbing but,
What if the seller has bought up some bankrupt stock at a bankrupt stock auction, or direct from the failing music store or what ever.
In this case he would be at liberty to sell for what price he likes I suspect.
Just a thought.
Mike

Pirates have been known to deactivate that part of a program. I know that in the past they could do this thus the program would not need activation to be run.

Sadly, one of my old band buddies from back in the old town once told me that he had practically every sort of music software on his computer and all of it was obtained for free from cracked sites.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
