So.. You've Pirated AM5.0 and You Don't Know What to Do...

Am I screwed because of the anti-piracy or because I just ran one stage?

^That's pretty much what I got from your post.
I don't think that the 1 stage would screw you up with such a long break from AM (if it's really long). Thinking about the rule that if you take a break in a middle of a stage for longer than one week you have to start over would make me think that running the 1st stage of AM6 would be like running stage 1 again after a long skip. Correct me if I'm wrong of any of these.

And since you paid for stage one (the only one you used), you have paid for everything you used of Shannon's, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just don't stop using AM6 before you have finished it, it's more powerful than AM5 so stopping could have adverse effects for a long time according to Shannon. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Plus the first stage should be "garbage removal" phase if I understood correctly, so no real "programming" is in there yet.

I've already finished AM6 and have just started SM haha. I guess I ask because I had some serious resistance issues while running AM6 and want to know if I somehow caused it or if it is normal.
