Copy protection

[ngoc009]

If you want to buy subliminals... you're not pirating them. Just don't do anything that constitutes piracy... such as making copies for others, sharing the program, using pirated copies, or enabling others to make or use pirated copies.

Just don't pirate it.

Giving away copies: piracy.
Sharing copies: piracy.
Uploading copies to torrent sites: piracy.
Downloading copies from torrent sites: piracy.

You can make all the copies you want for your own private use, and for backup, on as many different players/devices as you like. But you cannot make or use copies that you did not pay for that are benefitted from by more people than paid for it.

So if you buy a copy, and you use your copy on speakers, and someone else benefits - while you are using it - you are not committing piracy, and neither are they.

But if you give that person a copy and they use it, you have both committed piracy because now more than one person is benefitting from it when only one person has paid for it, and the original payer is not the one in complete control of the paid for copy.

If you buy a copy, and put it on your ipod, cell phone, ipad, laptop, spare backup drive, etc. but only you use it, you are not committing piracy. But if you knowingly give your friend your cell phone to use with your copy, that is two people benefitting from the single paid for copy independently, and that is piracy. The only time you can safely use a single copy to influence multiple people at once is when the owner of the copy (the payer for it) is the only one in control of it, and is using it, for themselves, with everyone else benefitting from use as a side effect. In other words, nobody else can use it, just the person who bought that copy, but if that copy is used in their presence, they can benefit from it as a consequence of the usage of the owner of that copy.

If those people want to use it without the owner, they commit piracy because they are using, controlling and benefitting from it directly, without having paid for it.

To own, use, and benefit directly from a copy without triggering AP code, you must have purchased that right. You must pay for that copy. You must return value for what you are benefitting from, and the right to use it and benefit from it at will. Instead if being at the mercy of the person who paid for it to use it in your presence instead.

Just pay for what you use if it's not free, and don't share it or give it away.

So Shannon if I let my mom listen to AM6 for a few seconds ( because she wanted to check what i was listenning ) while i was not exposed to AM 6 because she listened through earbuds and i was there with her would that violates copy-protection policy.
