EW/Soundsonline warning

[musicman691]

I posted in this thread: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=353562&page=5 in post 45 about East West (aka Soundsonline) deleting a thread I started over there mentioning two threads here about the iLok license asset issue and Heartbleed. In an email exchange with one of the admins I was told it was deleted because according to their TOS they can delete threads that are industry sensitive. I don't see what we're talking about here as industry sensitive or elsewise Avid would have shut down and/or deleted these threads.

In the exchange I asked if any of the admins had read the threads and I got a reply back today saying they had and they saw what was posted here as 'crazy talk' (their words, not mine). I was further told they (EW) would let people know if and when there was a problem in response to the comment I made to the effect of 'at least you could let people know the EW site is not compromised by Heartbleed'. They also said there was no reason to let people know about the iLok problem because they don't allow resales of used libraries. Tried to tell them that this goes beyond just one or two developers and that people who have legitimately purchased licensed software have had things deleted from their iLoks. Apparently they (EW admins) can't see the value in letting people know they might have a problem with iLok or website security.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who can recognize 'crazy talk' when I hear it...

Is it crazy talk to call out a company when it screws up like iLok did? Is it crazy talk to worry about the one of the biggest computer bugs in history?

C'mon...Surely you know I don't include you in the "crazy talk" category, even though your are from Joizy...

But I think you would have to admit that some of the posts in those two threads make even the much-vaunted "Control 24/Pro Control" look like a friggin' faculty tea...

There is one commonality between all three of those threads...the number of posters whose post count is less than ten...almost makes you wonder if somebody is "salting the mine"...

And has anybody ever come up with somebody who lost a license that they purchased from the plugin developer or an authorized dealer? Not trying to be whatever...I just haven't seen one on any of the threads, yet...

Waves is a different situation, as there may have been a statement from Waves that we could keep using our V8 licenses...

But outside of Waves, has anybody seen any others?

There's been reports in an other thread of Avid licenses bought first hand from Avid that were taken.
