I'm not so concerned about the message as whether there is "destructive code" and what is its nature. Is this just a bluff then? Or does it only "destroy" the MDrummer plugin. If not it's the code that should be removed, not just the message.MeldaProduction wrote:2) I agree that the message may sound too hard, so it will be replaced by something else - the question is, with what? Any ideas?
The MDrummer Virus !!

No no, THERE IS NO DESTRUCTIVE CODE.
It is a bluff.
It is a bluff.

I knew it! 
I understand where you're coming from Vojtech, but I would suggest you remove it. As a business, you have to be careful about these things.

OK glad you clarified that. I think you can see though the problem with this approach is it can backfire on you 
People who think you are being for real will not touch any plugin if they think it could damage their systems (hacker or not) and people who know it is a bluff will not be worried and will do so regardless (including hackers). There is no win/win here.

I meant the statement, not the mythic "code", of course.

I've seen very scary-looking decals that you can apply to the windows of your home stating that this house is protected by a super-awesome security system. The whole security system was the sticker itself, but it made a potential burglar think twice before breaking in.
I had assumed that was the case here. Programmers have enough side-effects to worry about without intentionally building in potential system-destroying code. Nice try, Vojtech, but I think you alarmed almost everyone with that, crackers and non-crackers alike.
I'm loving your plugs more every day, but don't scare us like that!

Ok guys, I'm closing the topic and will change/remove the message.

I remember reading about a programme years ago that created a popup saying "You are using cracked software - your C: drive will now be deleted" or something like that (I think it was an early version of Treesize pro) - pure bluff but I'd love to have seen some faces of people with that. Not a good idea though.
