I run ableton live for all my production and studio work. Today my ableton told me I had a copyright violation because my software is cracked. [http://peachstone.net/index.php?action=view\_month&month=1172700000&module=weblogmodule&src=%40random44be21cd32932](http://peachstone.net/index.php?action=view_month&month=1172700000&module=weblogmodule&src=%40random44be21cd32932) is the only page I could find. Tried everything listed. Tried reinstalling, uninstalling, reinstalling, recracking…etc etc. I think I’m going to buy the program…but does anyone have any suggestions before I drop the few hundo on it? Genius they are…you make a few tracks on it and then you get fucked with this shit. Any suggestions? ---
