whatever your ethnicity, this is the sort of Anglo-African music I like, even with a Nordic software developer and a Japanese-American robot. Totally roots, totally multinational, just like people. And even robots have a human side, and make great drummers!

Viva A.Linn, A.Dell and our DAW package (just like ProTools, but open source and ‘Arder)

Thank you for your amazing effort.

Most of mine was spent fighting malware on this project as opposed to creative work.

Piracy is a interesting one here. We use commercial software like a library book. I do buy commercial DAW software as do other members of my local team but we do not think it’s fair to have to buy a copy each when only one of us is using it at once. That is actually the “like a book” legal route and is true UK copyright law. You cannot copy a book by law - and software is written code- but you can transfer the licence by lending out the book to your friends, obviously if you do that you can’t read the book yourself, so nothing is copied.

Me, and twins Phil/Paul or Twiggy and his mate Ben do just that! It’s not piracy, it’s statutory copyright law.

Do we run cracked software? Yes occasionally (though a non-cracked Reason 3 will run on Wine) because copy-protection prevents legitimate uses within the “like a book” licence that is actually copyright law- including backing up systems etc.
