Too f**king right.

Pull Zebra CM from that rags cover disk as well and be very public as to the reasons why.

Not sure if it's that easy. There are contracts and "condoning piracy" isn't exactly listed as a reason for termination. FM and CM are same publisher, but different entities. The editors - those responsible for content - are not the same guys (I think?).

I have a very good relation ship to peeps at CM, but I hardly know anyone at FM.

May i remind again that we're talking about 2 or 3 letters, and nowhere in the video "TEAM AiR" is really to be seen? But of course, if u-he wants to pull their ads on a base of assumptions, it's their decision. There are loads of people on Youtube who registered plugins to their nickname, not their real name, and the same COULD be the case here. As long as you don't know, i wouldn't play the guess game.

Btw, the company who COULD be really harmed here is still nowhere to be seen. Which again, i consider much better style than joining the speculations here. Maybe they already contacted the guy, and asked him if he owns a legit version of Sylenth1. Which would be much more appropriate.

THANK YOU!!! Please be seriously vocal about this! I don't understand why Lennard is staying away from it. ...why it comes down to entirely different developer having to step in. But thank you so much!

They are repeatedly sending strong, public, pro-warez messages by this. Only way to stop it is to send equally public reactions.

Everytime this happens, I lose a bit of hope in that descision I've made few years back. It was hard, I needed to borrow a nice chunk of money for it, but at the end I legalized all of my software. Everytime this thing appears, I feel like a fool who could have kept his machine up to date, or go to nice inspirational vacation every year. Being totally unsuccesful, many of my friends consider this as total waste of money anyway. Thus, everytime this happens, for a while, I regret every dollar I've shoveled into all that software. ...except the U-he stuff now, becouse apperently only Urs has b*lls to do something. Thank you again!

To chk071: It's not first time this happened. In previous videos, the full label was visible. Check Garrixes one, check Aviici's one...

I want it cleared up. A proof that it isn't Team AiR should be easy to produce, but likely it is not.

Yeah, there are obviously two cameras or a camera and screengrab software running, it should be easy to provide shots where the full UI and name are visible.

Given that, the fact that all the close screenshots are only shown after the UI has been moved so that the username is not visible is entirely odd. Its too farfetched that that's only a coincidence, IMO.

You never know. Ruben from Lennardigital posted on their forums that most big artists spotted with warezed versions actually did own a legit version. So really I wouldn't pre-judge. Of course IF it is a warezed version in that video, which is my main point.

[Mariosprt]

We do search for artist that use Sylenth1 and don't own any legit copy of it, we deal with this on our terms and we don't feel the need to shame them online.

I, for one, think they SHOULD be shamed online! These guys (famous DJs/"producers") are the role models of younger generations. Is this what want to teach our kids? Do we want our children to believe is the right thing to do? Come on...

[FarleyCZ]

It's not coinsidence. I think showing Team Air label in (lightning-fast raising star) Martin Garrix video made them adress the issue as some "local", but big media wrote about it. Unfortunatelly this is is how they seem to fix it. "Hey man, pull it off-screen, we had trouble with this. At least partially off screan, please."

Also who cares if they own legit copy or not? They are publically visible using cracked versions anyway. The message for youth stays the same. Piracy isn't nothing else but educational problem. If you tell kids warez is OK, they won't have any reason to not believe you... No reason to feel ashamed about it when they do it... It becomes normal. Natural. That's the impact... Seing their idols with cracked software will stamp legality of the software as rendundant. As something that't would set them back in way of becomming next Garrix...

Idly watching the FM video of Kill Frenzy that went up recently on YouTube, I noticed an odd lycropped shot of Sylenth at about 5.39. Looks like the plugin is licensed to 'TEA...' something or other. Has Kill Frenzy got his plugins from the same place as Martin Garrix?



Yet another guy with a nice looking setup using dodgy software?

That's not Kill Frenzy that's "Tea Boy" from Belgium speaking with an American accent. I noticed he can afford a TR-8 but not able to cough up for a legit Sylenth licence just like that little teen Garrix.

That would mean either they are using a cracked version to deliberately seem 'cool' or they bought the legit version afterwards to cover their backs. If it's the former that is worse.

Either way, all the Garrix wannabes won't bother to buy a damn, when (acording to the video) the original Garrix haven't. Simple as that.

Maybe that guy just stole his nickname from mentioned group and he's performing as DJ Team Air, for example, that would be funny in a way.
