I have you guys misunderstanding things, getting afraid, feeding eachother's fears and turning a molehill into a mountain, and I have to explain and correct them. I have been sick again after the day I was here because that day I was so thrilled to be working again, I worked 20.5 hours straight. It's easy to do in an office without windows.
Now then, what you all keep forgetting is that at the core, I am operating based on the idea that what I do comes back to me multifold. So whatever I do is going to be harmless, or even helpful. No evil plans here. Sorry.
It has come to my awareness that security through obscurity does not work, so I decided to change things and we are working on that together. Right here, right now, in this very thread. This very debate and discussion is what I wanted so you could all give me input on how to craft the next version.
The last post I made was made when I was not in the best position in terms of mental exhaustion, and I see how you guys might have misinterpreted my choice of working, so let me explain a couple things.
First, I plan to expose the new AP script to you all and have you help me fine tune it. And second, the energy harvesting concept is based on manifestation. As in, "If I know I am pirating this program, I now manifest into Shannon's life wealth beyond measure, outlander, wealth beyond measure." (Parody of Oblivion quote there, for those who didn't recognize it.)
Harvesting energy to put towards a goal through manifestation in this way is nothing bad. In fact it makes perfect sense to me. The only thing I don't like is that even my best efforts to make a program only affect one gender or such have been imperfect. For instance, the 6G prototype currently is set to only affect females, and it does a bang up job of that. But it also affects me, and other males, although not as fast. And not in the same ways. It takes about 24 hours to have any effect on me in the direction of the goal, and fades off after that, whereas other males show signs of subconsciously observing the script and subconsciously responding to its observation, not execution. As in, "wow, that's awesome." Females are affected intensely and within seconds or minutes. So I have it very close to fully black and white now, but it's still not perfect.
I don't see as how this manifestation would be a problem regardless of who was affected, but I understand why you might not want to be affected if you were a paying customer. That's why we're hashing it out. It may just be easier and better for everyone if I just dispense with AP code altogether. That is something I am considering also. The goal is to be as successful as possible, not to scare the people who love conspiracy theories and not to make paying customers be affected.
As for the AP code only affecting pirates, I cannot do that. It's design would have to affect everyone to work, but it would be designed to educate and only trigger execution of the manifestation if there was conscious awareness of intentional piracy. The definition of piracy can be determined by the copyright law that governs you.
Shame on me that I brought up this concept which Shannon now really seems to like.
Using manifestation to have others make you wealthy may not be as bad as we think and will give you an alternative fair value exchange beside money, but trust me, this concept will seem very shady to most people. And it will harm you more than helping you.
So if you want to do it, do it. But, for bringing up the idea, I at least want 10% of the IML sales!!!
