    [Tim Wilson] “I think that’s exactly right….but still sideways to the point. Nobody is surprised by bricking or deauthorizing illicit tracks. That’s an appropriate response, and even the most casual jailbreaker knows it’s not only a possible outcome, but a likely one.”

    Not to get too tangental… what am I saying, this thread is already all over the place. haha

    I agree that people skirting the rules should always expect repercussions if they get caught, but those playing by the rules do not, yet the are both potentially subject to the same forces. For example, remember a few years ago when Amazon erased the eBook version of “1984” from the account/device of every Amazon customer that purchased it? That situation was also handled poorly because Amazon just zapped the book in secret (like no one would notice?) instead of notifying customers about the legal problems surrounding the book and saying they will refund the purchase price of the book.

    We give up an uncomfortable amount of privacy and control to have our digital lives and for the most part we all try not to think too hard about it and just believe in the benevolence of our corporate overlords.

    [Bill Davis] “that’s a far cry from a $299 app running on stock hardware providing access to something like the same functions”

    I don’t believe it’s X doing it, but rather Softron tied to expensive storage as well as I/O hardware. X simply has the ability to tap into the files. So not a $299 app running on stock hardware.

    Agreed it’s MUCH more valuable now with the Libraries model.

    But to be fair, the basic plumbing construction of pointers to matching tho different rezzed pools of content – Optimized and Proxy – was there from FCP X V1.

    “still not sure how marketing could have helped folks accept the loss of FCP Legacy”

    I think modern, enlightened marketing is about engaging your customers and telling the truth.

    We’re going to be winning different clients you and me!.

    [James Ewart] “I think modern, enlightened marketing is about engaging your customers and telling the truth.”

    So do most folks who work in marketing… many of them just have a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be truthful.

    [James Ewart] “We’re going to be winning different clients you and me!.”

    Ha ha, I’m just a staff post guy… so I won’t actually be after anyone’s clients. I do wish you the best of luck with yours though. 🙂

    [James Ewart] “(Joke..no offence intended BTW)”

    No offense taken, thanks for the conversation!

    Quite right! We’ll see if my manager agrees after my EOY review. 😉
