This is my first post to the forum but this thread has enraged me to no end. First just because it only cost ~$20, or the developer didn't fireproof it from people like you, does not exempt you from criminal liability. What you are doing is most certainly a crime (trust me or look it up yourself, but you seem to know everything so...) and since you are publishing this (yes, what you're engaged in right now is publishing) you have made yourself liable to prosecution and a civil lawsuit in which Jason can sue you for lost revenue, and win easily. Second this attitude that "just because its digital means it should be free" is hurting many musicians, like Jason, developers, again like Jason, and on and on. Digital technology enables a musician, without the means for mass production, to develop and produce a product, made for other musicians, at an extremely low price enabling a large group of users access to an innovative product that up until now cost $300 and was manufactured using techniques that create wasteful industrial byproducts not to mention all the resources necessary to produce all that plastic. You're trying to steal from an innovating American entrepreneur who is solving problems for people and providing an enriching experience to his customers. Is $20 too much for an app? Honestly, who knows. But $20 for a feature packed metronome with the potential for future updates is an amazing deal. And if you think Jason is making a great deal of money off of that $20 fee you're mistaken. Even the worst apps cost at least $25,000 to produce and Dr Compas is not one of those. Furthermore Apple takes a huge slice of every sale relative to their contribution to it. Given the small potential audience for a product like Dr Compas it appears to me to be very reasonably priced and I hope he does make some money from it. But I'd be shocked if he's even broken even yet. Third, morally you're just repulsive. Sure you don't know Jason, and neither do I, but his website is a fantastic tool, he is nothing but helpful to those who seek him out, and his amazing unique style is one of the crown jewels of American guitar playing, of any genre. When I was looking for a teacher he put me in touch with my current instructor and I couldn't be happier. In fact I was so happy I bought Dr. Compas, even though I play using a regular metronome [but Dr Compas is a great tool to have and a neat way to practice palmas], just because I believe in supporting artists, and just other people, who are enriching, and adding value, to my life. That is how communities thrive for long periods of time, and boy did you pick the wrong one to walk in to. Your perspective is so skewed you're staring right up your own @$$. So do us all a favor: delete your account and don't come around here anymore. I don't think anyone really cares what you have to say from now on anyway. And maybe you'll learn the lesson that not everyone is a selfish $#!! like you and might actually care about and value the hard work of a fellow human being.
