When a group buy is enacted, it will trigger the antipiracy measures. The owner is the person who paid for the program, as in, clicked "purchase" from the store.
The only way to use the program legally in this case, as has been stated before, is if the owner uses the program on speakers and the other party listens without having their own copy.
Since you're both in possession of a copy, neither one is fully paid for, so both are illegal right now, and both have activated the antipiracy measures. The owner made copies and gave them away (triggers antipiracy scripting) and the other person accepted copies not fully paid for and used them (triggers antipiracy scripting). To solve this problem, another copy must be purchased by the person who is not defined as the "owner" of the previously purchased program, and no copies can be distributed afterwards.
Hey Shannon, thanks for the answer. We understand now that we have activated the antipiracy measure. However, one more time, no one has fully answered my question, which is, Do we have to restart the program all over again once we buy the other Stage 1 & 2, or when we buy the new one can we continue normally with the program? As in, e.g. we are in day 17, and when we buy the other program, can we continue to day 18, or we both have to go back to day 1, or only one of us? And what exactly are we listening to if the copy protection triggers like now? Like something bad or something that is giving us nothing of the AM6? Please answer us back as soon as you can and as clearly as you can.
One more thing, suppose each one of us have our own copy now, and I leave my computer in my room all day with the subliminal and never turn it off, and then I go out and I have it in my phone, 2 copies would be playing at the same time in different devices, does this trigger the copy protection?
Thanks again for all the answers, just need the most important question answered.
And last but not least, I think this should be added to the FAQ, since we read it and still didn't realize it would activate the copy protection since in our heads, we were doing nothing illegal... "CAN I BUY A PROGRAM TOGETHER WITH A FRIEND?"
That's all, thanks! and fingers crossed we don't have to start from 0 de program again.
