do you dispute the fact that Arturia are engaged in misleading advertising, or are you disputing that there is a legal imperative for them to cease engagement in such practises ?
or do you dispute neither, but still maintain some apologist stance that we should, you know, just like, you know, accept it man, cos like, whatever man lnikj got his goodies and he's content and that's all that matters ? ... because in that case, yes, just another regular day on KVR
I think we have all been around here long enough to understand the product cycles and pricing practices of Arturia and other companies.
An apologist? Maybe. I think Arturia are one of the better companies around here. Their support used to suck a bit but now they respond very quickly. Kevin is here and fixing people's problems.
Not really necessary to quote chapter and verse at them at this point is it?
as far as Arturia 'tidying up' the 'loose wording' now that it has been 'pointed out' to them (lol, as if they don't know what they're doing), I'm not so sure it is safe to assume that. Kevin has ignored the issue, though he has still been commenting in the thread even after people have been both 'pointing' it out and somewhat desperately looking for clarification.
so, since the Arturia representative is clearly ignoring the issue - I feel that, contrary to your apologist stance, yes it is necessary to 'quote chapter and verse' at them. at this point in particular, since, like, you know, they've ignored the issue up until this point. well, technically still ignoring it. but up until the point of 'chapter and verse', absolutely it was an ignored issue.
so there's no harm in reminding everyone, both Arturia and the consumer, that what they are doing is patently misleading and patently against the law. maybe now they'll 'tidy up' the accidentally-on-purpose 'loose wording' ... or maybe they won't. maybe no one but a couple of people give a shit. we'll see. it doesn't change the facts though ... it is misleading advertising, and it is prohibited under EU law.
