Reply To: Sample Logic / Pulse / APD Owner Sends Threatening Email to Users of a Free Code

[Peter DeLegge]

Again, my guess is that the code was for influencers and affiliates in an effort to get them to promote his plugins. Because it wasn’t limited, it likely went out to a lot of folks and one of them decided to share it publicly (of course, he shouldn’t have). I get that any developer would be upset by a code like this being leaked, and if I were in his shoes, I would deactivate the serials of anyone who registered it using a code they shouldn’t have used. But as they weren’t deliberately engaged in outright piracy, I wouldn’t treat them as he has done. I would explain things to them and wouldn’t write threats, especially threats to de-activate people’s Pulse accounts — which is a pretty major threat when a lot of people have a good deal of sample libraries and plugins that rely on Pulse.
