It's also illegal according to EU law. And it also shows incredible paranoia on the part of Spectrasonics, that they think that more than 0.01% of owners of Omnisphere will sell it this year, and that the new owners might themselves might decide to resell it.beely wrote: Wed Jan 25, 2023 4:58 pm It's only people that buy their license s/h from someone else that don't get the upgrade pricing - and this was a clearly stated and well-known policy by Spectrasonics that the buyer should really have checked pre-purchase, if it was going to be a deal-breaker.
Go to the Marketplace on KVR and search for Omnisphere and see how many copies have been offered for sale in the past year. It is a TINY number. Yet Spectrasonics think they have a right to prevent you from reselling something you bought. Imagine if that happened with cars - you buy a brand new car, but after you sell it secondhand to somebody, the car company says it's 'illegal' for them to sell it on to somebody else - so it has to be destroyed.
It's also similar to the modern PC game market, where every game is only available as a download, whereas in the old days every game was either on a disk or a CD or DVD, and you could resell it and the new owner could resell it, forever. Only, strangely enough, after a few years, a game loses its value, and guess what - you can't buy it new any more because nobody wants it, so there's no possible loss for the publisher. Oh wait, we can't talk about that here, can we...
What does "s/h" mean, by the way? Too lazy to write "secondhand"? Why?
Didn't even realise I was the OP..
