And let's be honest. That software was so incredibly pirated I assume more people bought WinZip.

Acid was pretty fun to play with. I will outright admit I did not purchase my copy.

One bit of SoFo lore that I was told on my first day: inspecting the metadata on one of the .wavs on win95 would reveal that it was edited using a cracked copy of Sound Forge.

/EVERYONE/ pirated Sound Forge.

My 10th grade high school music class was taught entirely using Acid. Looking back I am 90% certain our teacher pirated it.

They had educational discounts, and possibly school support programs. My high school had legit copies and a library of the official loop CDs.
