Otherwise, I have ZERO interest in reading about pirates justifying their right to steal, or people who are ignorant about fair value exchange and seem to have a major sense of entitlement ALSO trying to justifying their actions. All I saw were straw man arguments endlessly to try to justify themselves. Not interested in reading that trash at all.
Here we go, let's get this over with:
I can't BELIEVE this nonsense is still going on. I thought it was finally squashed after one person started all this crap up. And had Shannon wasting his time that could've been better spent on 6G or OF 5G which a lot of people are anxiously waiting for, or watching reality TV shows...instead, he has to hand-hold someone who has zero appreciation for Shannon's work and right to earn a living and has a major sense of entitlement. And Shannon's apparent boundless level of patience and time dealing with this person and trying to explain how reasonable everything he does is, was rewarded with nothing but vitriol. The same I got awhile back. What a waste of time, honestly.
There's NOTHING wrong with the current AP code. There. NOTHING. Most of us care about Shannon and want him to have a decent lifestyle in return for the incredible changes he offers us. And most of us hate pirates and people who don't believe in fair value exchange. You're offered life changes beyond comprehension, and you're only worried about how easy it is to steal and give unfair value exchange in return. It's disgusting to me...
A tiny percentage of us, seem to be either outright pirates and obviously don't like the AP code and don't respect the fact Shannon deserves to earn a living for his services. Or are just outright ignorant of what the code does and are alarmist and wearing their tin foil hats. From what I've seen, it's both probably...
Bottom line, with anything like this, some people are just going to whine about it and let it be the defining factor of not buying a program. Fine, that's your choice, goodbye. Out of all the members, I've only seen one person constantly threaten that, but yet they remain on the forum and continue to whine about it and threaten to leave over and over, so I don't know how much this issue REALLY bothers them. They've sure whined and whined and started a lot of ***** about it though.
Me personally, I say Shannon has every right to keep the code and even expand it. It's his discoveries and years of effort he's trying to protect. It's easy to have an arrogant sense of entitlement about "openness" (read: easier to pirate/steal and have unfair value exchange) when you aren't the one spending years of your life making breakthroughs of things. I'm not just speaking as a fellow entrepreneur, also as someone with a functioning normal brain...
Shannon, essentially what you have, is a VERY small group of people here...complaining that your products are not easy to steal and create unfair value exchange. I advise you to smile and realise you are doing a good job, and expand on the code at the earliest availability.
There's my obligation, complete.
This is very obviously directed towards me. Just because I don't agree with every little tiny thing that Shannon does, does not mean that I don't love, appreciate, and greatly benefit from these subliminals.
I very much appreciate Shannon, and his work even though I don't agree with every little thing.
