A lot of those same 14 year olds also didn't obtain their
software legally too.

I can name numerous "artists" that have submitted demo reels
to our office that were composed if nothing more than free
VideoCopilot project files with the text changed. Drives me
nuts. God love Andrew, he has done some amazing stuff, but too
many people abuse his kind offerings.

It looks like it’s a $5 minimum payment plus extras… The
extras are awfully cheap.Â

The point of my comment, if you want to only be a
technician then you have to accept technicians wages. There
are a lot of very capable 14 year old technicians out there
that don’t have to pay any bills so the price is in the
toilet.

The site is chock full of
editors, animators, video guys, software
writers...... all who will work for $5!
(slapping forehead) This makes me sad.
