For years now my kid brother and his mate, žeorem have been ripping off a software program called Ableton Live to learn how to produce music.
It's difficult when you're struggling, otherwise, they would very much rather pay for it. It's when we add up all the extra added-on programs that we realize only famous musicians have it as a resource.
If you are a member of the Calgary Puck community and would enjoy a complementary album, INR has asked if you would shoot them an email with the subject [jydk] and they will reply with a token when ready.
This is my old foster kid who Dj's and is venturing into making software for DJ's, he has been at it for years but makes the square root of eff all, he always ran ripped copies of ableton

The song on youtube and the INR website is a little disorienting as well.
The song isn't bad, but I wasn't too sure what to make with all the poker video clips that were over layed over top. I almost thought it was a long ad.
It was a little strange with the poker thing and lectures or whatever over laying it. I was wondering if this was about getting a job writing background sound tracks for TV or movies? Anyways I do appreciate the effort of musicians trying to get their art out there.
I guess I'm in the bad guy room or I'm a bit confused. I don't want to turn this into a debate, but musicians keep talking about their music getting stolen in the public domain and not being compensated, and then there's talk in the original post about ripping off the software manufacturer?

Seriously....this is the strangest thread I have come across in awhile and maybe ever. It almost feels like a brainwash video and these "gifts" the OP are talking about are triggers to release us as super killing machines.

It's that damn Hansel! He's so hot right now!

Bizarre. But, I am out of touch with some of these meta-music things that are happening among the youth nowadays. I barely understood the weird NFT song that Elon tweeted the other day.

I think about it in terms of software piracy and IT.
My screwing around with copies of software that I'd neither be able to afford nor have a genuine need for as an individual is exactly why I was able to get into IT at a young age, and be successful at it. Now, all those companies whose products I pirated when I was a kid, I've been able to make them money and far more than the cumulative value of all the products of theirs I used without a license. And nowadays, I work in engineering as a feature PM and product owner. And I pay for all my software.
Now stealing is illegal, you'll get no argument from me there. However, I can see scenarios in which software piracy isn't the worst thing in the world and some can even have a long-term advantage associated with it. As an article from Medium points out, the ubiquity of the Windows operating system or Adobe's Photoshop can largely be credited to piracy.
It sounds like they are trying to enter the business of video background music, which is a bit of a niche. If I were them, I'd find a couple of stock footage scenes and overlay that with their music, so that they can match/alter the mood, and really show what they can do. The poker thing and room discussion don't really work with their style, but if they are just starting out they have to find their place. Good luck!

I recall back in the 80s, when the internet was just getting started, a lot of guys were writing various software programs and offering it to the public free. I recall they called it freeware, and would occasionally ask for donations to cover their cost.
