I know a lot of you use unlicensed copies and get by just fine but ya boo sucks to you lot, I've just bought a commercial licence for reason 4 and I'm a happy bunny.
I started off with a dodgy copy of reason 3 and did loads with it. I just wondered where you were all at.

Well, as for me, I stole mine. And I also stole the computer to go with it. I also stole all the songs I wrote using Reason. I stole the keyboard to write the stolen music on my stolen computer with the stolen copy of Reason. While we're at it, I stole the house where my computer lives. I also stole my wife and two of our kids.

How many many people do you think are going to say the have an illegit copy of Reason?

I've worked some years with an unlicensed copy, but I always knew, that I will buy it some day, when I see a good offer (400€ was too much for me). Then one or two years ago Propellerheads offered the Reason 4 full version as an upgrade from any Reason Adapted version (those light versions which you get with many hardware products) for just 200€. That was the offer, that I was waiting for. I bought it and I am happy now! 200€ is a fair price for this cool program.
EDIT:
I know, it's not the correct way, but I can understand, when for example students use unlicensed copies, because they couldn't pay the expensive prices for software. When I was a student, I had way more illegal copies then today. Later I started to buy more and more products (like Reason).

I think if the only way I could have got hold of reason 3 was for a 30 day trial I wouldn't have understood it's potential quickly enough, so it's thanks to tinkering with an unlicensed copy for a while mr propellerhead eventually proved to me that he had a product worth handing cash over for, cos it is.
