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

[Shannon]

People don't know what I have it doing. Some people want to believe they can ignore it, and some people are afraid there's something nasty. If you think I'm going to do something that will give me a black eye or lose me customers or their trust, you're crazy. If you think I am going to just let people steal my stuff and benefit from it without paying me, you're also crazy. So take those who say such things with a large grain of salt, because they don't know what they are talking about, and out of ignorance does not come bliss when you're dealing with reality. It is pure stupidity to ask me to program your mind, and then steal from me. While I am not going to stoop to doing what I hate other companies doing (try to force you to pay for it), I am going to balance the scales.

I would strongly suggest not pirating my stuff. Those who want to believe they can circumvent or ignore my anti-piracy code don't get a free pass just for being ignorant fools. They just deal with the consequences of their actions in different ways, which they may not be intelligent or aware enough to notice or understand. But rest assured, had they intelligence and wisdom, they would rather pay for it than steal it from me. There is no way around it.
