Your opinions on the AP code (which I don't entirely disagree with BTW) is one thing but considering Shannon has researched subliminals and produced subliminals that work (by your own admission) then I'd say on this particular issue I'm going to have lean with his expertise. I do agree that one cannot prevent EVERYTHING from being absorbed by the subconscious, even Shannon has admitted that, but using name embeds could reduce the effectiveness enough to wear it would make the individual more likely to just buy their own copy from Indigo Mind Labs.
As far as the threat of a future competitor, that's actually a valid possibility and was actually demonstrated this year by PS4 vs Xbox One where Xbox One (Microsoft) considered not allowing the purchase of used games whereas PS4 (Sony) did. Microsoft changed their tune of course but it did hurt them as PS4 eclipsed them in sales. So yes, you are IMO correct that Shannon's AP code could cost him customers if another company rises up. Which is why I propose he find an alternative solution to it other than simply removing it (although I wouldn't complain if he did remove it).
Here's the thing though Justin, you're saying "just let live". Ok. Well obviously I'm not going to complain much if the AP code gets taken out because I'll be able to share subliminals much more easily with other people and can split the price of a $500 sub with a buddy so if the price of subliminals stays the same I (the customer) am going to win out. My issue is that Shannon may then opt to simply jack the prices up to compensate for the losses or implement another strategy to cover up the losses. IF he's going to increase the price I'd rather it be done in a way such as the one I described (or something similar) that provides benefit to both customer and owner while simultaneously helping to protect his property.
EDIT: Did some editing on the first paragraph for spelling errors.
Name embeds would make a sub not as good, or maybe take longer to work, and probably work better and faster for people who have the same name, but what I'm saying is name embeds wouldn't stop someone with a different name from benefiting.
See, my whole concern stems from THIS because just because Shannon says the APcode is scripted to only affect us on his subs, it doesn't mean that we won't be affected by things that aren't only his subs.
Just like if a sub says "I nick am now insanely confident" I can still benefit from it even though my name is Justin.
Now, this means that even though AP code says to only apply for Shannon's stuff, it does NOT mean my subconscious isn't going to eventually start applying it to other things because the message without the specificity of Shannon's subs only is still there and still being absorbed.
Knowing how loose his thoughts are on piracy, I realize that in his eyes, I am committing piracy every time I go to youtube . com, or turn on my ipod.
Okay, and every sub I listen to is programming HIS idea of piracy into MY fu*king head, and I PERSONALLY have a COMPLETELY different view on it, and my point is that, I, as a PAYING customer with REAL money should not have to have that sh*t programmed into my head just because OTHER PEOPLE out there are stealing sh*t.
I don't care about other people stealing sh*t, that's not why I buy these fu*king subs. I buy these subs FOR ME to benefit from, and I shouldn't have to have that sh*t programmed into my head because other people want to get Shannon's subs for free.
Even though his AP code is specified for his stuff (which I still think is insanely wrong but doesn't affect me) I'm eventually still going to be affected by the APcode in some way with things that are completely unrelated to Shannon's subs, just like if I listened to a sub say "I nick am extremely confident" Eventually, I would become extremely confident even though my name isn't Nick.
Okay, it's not right for me to have to have the apcode playing in my head. I bought my subs I did not steal them so why should I have to have my beliefs changed that I do not want changed?
