Well, it was bound to happen! The self-evolving nature of This Plugin, and it's ability to evolve has caused it some legal woes. Apparently, it evolved into Kontakt 4; and NI isn't pleased.

it has been a few month, and this plugin is still the thing.
but some time has passed and the massive hysteria is over, time for reflection.
is it really the sound or is something else that might have caused this plugins mania?
there are voices claiming this plugins world dominating success is based on clever marketing strategies too.
"this plugin has shown a magnificient marketing campaign is the key to success" (Rob Hollins, financee expert, NewYork Times, 1.3.2008) (made up!)
yeah that is true. of course the sound of this plugins cannot be ruled out, but is there soemthing that can co-explain the success history? besides its sonic purity there is another thing, the 'marketing of not buying'. whereas all other devs struggle hard to make arguments why you should buy a plugin, this plugin has set the boundaries of innovative marketing to another level:
what u get if you NOT buy this plugin:
- full life support service.
we'll look after u every day to check wheter u still are satisfied with not buying.
- cumulative price reduction system.
if you dont buy now, this plugin costs 1$ more every day.
- personalization services. we'll tell all your mates, boy/girlfriend so they are aware what kind of non-buy-guy you are. and we'll stay in close contact with your mother to make sure she feels really sorry she has failed in educating you properly.

How do we know that's baby jesus?
We escape the trap of our own subjectivity by
perceiving neither black nor white but shades of grey
