Quote:Also, you say for the people who end up with AP code activating will pay for what they've done, and you say they won't pay with money. That sounds INSANELY threatening.
If it sounds threatening, I have to wonder what you're so afraid of over this if you're really not responding to all this out of fear that you are guilty and someone might have found a way to prevent you from getting away with it. "Insanely" threatening only when you're being ridiculous.
Quote:Are they going to pay with their lives? Their health? Are they going to manifest themselves going to prison?
Again, ridiculous. I'm a businessman. I want to make a profit from my work, just as anyone else would. My product happens to be easy to take advantage of because it is digital in nature. My goal is not to drive customers away, but to balance the scales such that those who would otherwise not pay for my work, which they are using and benefitting from, pay for my work. I can't do that by making insane threats to people's lives over piracy, now can I.
So nobody is going to pay with their lives. Or their health. You have to realize that my belief system is based in karma. What we do comes back to us. So for me to harm another would harm me. And that makes no sense when my whole goal is to make the world a better place. So it's patently ridiculous for you to assume I am out to get you like the bogey man.
As for manifesting themselves going to prison, that would also be out of line, because I can't manipulate reality like that, and even if I could, who goes to prison and who doesn't is for the courts to decide.
Quote:I just imagine a crazy person shaking their fist like "DAMN YOU! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!"
Imagine how crazy you look imagining that.
Quote:If not with money, then what? It has to be something bad, and unethical what else could it be?
It has to be something bad and unethical? Just because you have the inability to think in anything but black and white all or nothing terms? Again, "bad and unethical" does not do me good because it harms others, and I believe that what I do comes back to me. So I found a solution that harms none, but helps balance the scales. Although, as I said, both you and I would prefer that you simply paid for it with money, like common sense and common decency dictates.
Quote:If you activate AP code you will pay, but not with money, then with what?
With what is not necessary for you to know. But if you are that threatened by my AP code, then I strongly suspect you are dealing with serious feelings of being threatened by this because you believe yourself to be guilty somehow.
I spent a lot of time to design this so that it will not affect my paying customers, or inconvenience them. So if you're a paying customer, then you might want to ask yourself why this is so threatening to you, since if that is true, then you have done nothing wrong, and the AP code is not active.
Quote:Sounds VERY threatening, and as a paying customer I shouldn't have to feel threatened or worried about anything ie AP code shouldn't even be there at all, OR we should know exactly line for line EXACTLY what it says. Every word so we can decide for ourselves if it's something we want put into our brains.
If I was to go to the President, and demand to know, line for line, what the national secrets were, do you suppose he might deny me that information? Maybe because knowing that information could perhaps make it less useful for it's intended purpose? Perhaps knowing what it says would help pirates defeat it? So it's a secret. And unless I can find a way to release without making it easier to defeat, it's probably going to stay a secret. Although you flipping out like this has prompted me to start looking for another way to go about this, because I am spending way too much time dealing with stuff like this and not working.
Quote:I'm actually done with this company and these subs until more info is released on this.
Well how about you help me find a solution then?
