US/LM run

[Shannon]

We discussed purchasing another copy of USLM so that she could be fully on it herself. I told her about the anti piracy thing. She didn’t seem to get it, and eventually said that she didn’t want to spend the extra money so she declined to go on it. I am continuing this journey on my own. Ok, that’s her choice.
By the way Shannon, is there any way you would modify the anti piracy statements in future programs so that it is ok to share it with family members who live in the same home? I can’t be the only one who doesn’t have the same schedule as their spouse. If we did, she’d be exposed as I listened anyway. I think it would be great if we could run the new LTU , but I am not going to pay five hundred plus dollars twice. No disrespect intended and I won’t mention it again, but I think being able to share it with someone who I’d normally share sleeping space with is reasonable. Please understand I am requesting, not trying to demand, and doing so with respect.
I remembered another dream. This is the second within a week, and I normally only remember two or three a year.

If you purchase one copy, then there is one owner, and one person who has paid to benefit from the program. That's fair.

The fact that I consider it fair use for others to benefit from the program while you are using it for yourself, if they are exposed, is more than generous on my part. It provides you with an easy way to let multiple people benefit, while only paying for it once. That is less money in my pocket.

What you don't seem to understand is that there has to be a balance of exchange. "sharing it with family members who live in the same home" is PIRACY. That's why it's not allowed. You are paying for not only the program, but the right to use it whenever you please. Those who have not paid for it have no such right, and they can only benefit from it when you use it, because you have that right.

What you're asking me to do here is modify the AP code so that it allows piracy, because it's inconvenient. That's pretty ridiculous.

I don’t think that you can even give a sub to someone else when you aren’t using it. Don’t get me wrong, I completely get why Shannon did what he did with the anti piracy component. He’s selling a product that can be replicated instantly and infinitely by anyone who has it.

You can give the sub away when you're not using it, but when you give it away, you have to fully relinquish ownership of it. It is no longer yours, and you must delete all copies of it in your possession.

This is another one of those things that I consider fair use that can be used to screw me, because you can just pass it back and forth between several people this way all the time. But then I make 1 sale and several people benefit, and I have much less income, and much less incentive to keep working, don't I.

If you want to use your copy, then use it, but your wife has to listen to it as a consequence of your using it for yourself. It would work perfectly for you to listen to it at night while you are sleeping in either the same bed or the same room. Isn't that generous enough?
