I wanted to try out Serato Sample’s new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile.

Only now a week later do I remember I purchased the old version on sale and think to check if it’s a free upgrade.

Now I can’t decide if I want to bother uninstalling and installing my legitimate copy

I’ve pirated games because I was too lazy to put the disc in…

I do that when I need data files for some open source engine recreation. I have multiple copies of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and Morrowind but can’t be bothered to reinstall them for five minutes of use.

After I posted this, gave it a bit more thought and I’ve done the same thing with CD-ROM games because I barely even use CD/DVD these days.
