@AriaSalvatrice what millionares? I really question if audio software developers get to the point of millionaires, this is a very niche category of "products" after all.

But in any case, the use of obtrusive DRM is not directly correlated to software being commercial. Plenty of commercial software has no DRM at all.

If we are going to question pirating DRM software, that is a tough one. Supporting the devs is nice, but not such practices.

IMO the best is just skipping using stuff with DRM
