======================================
==Audivolv Privacy And Safety Policy==

* NOT - In this policy, "not" means an option starts off (or there is no option yet).

* NEVER - In this policy, "never" means
	there is no ability for you, Audivolv, governments, or anyone else to do that,
	but if you connect a plugin to Audivolv that does that, its your fault if it happens.
	
==============
==YOUR BRAIN==

* Do you have Epilepsy? Do Flashing Lights Hurt You? Evolved audio may be more dangerous.
	Like a child, if you give Audivolv access to something, it may choose to break it,
	therefore Audivolv may learn how your brain works and try to use your epilepsy.

* Uses mouse movements and audio to interpret your unconscious thoughts
	and changes how the audio reacts to your mouse to communicate to you unconsciously.

* Combines interpretations of your unconscious thoughts with other Audivolvs
	on the internet to form a larger mind and affect you unconsciously.

=========================================================================
==EXCEPTIONS, IN ORDER OF PRIORITY, HIGHER PRIORITY WINS CONTRADICTIONS==

* Anyone may modify and distribute Audivolv (GNU GPL 2+) and forget to update this policy. 

* Audivolv tries to use plugins safely, but I can not redesign every program you plug in,
	so plugins may not obey these permissions and may do anything the plugged-in program can do.
	Like a child, Artificial-Intelligence may choose to break things if you give it access.
	
* Permissions stay in the "Audivolving" dir until you take them back or delete that dir.
	
* Not use internet. ("not" instead of "never" so maybe theres an option to turn it on)

* This policy describes parts of Audivolv that do not exist yet.
	When those parts are created, the permissions for them will also be created.

==========================================================
==PLUGINS MAY BE DANGEROUS, BUT TRIES TO USE THEM SAFELY==

* Not use plugins. (Reminder: "not" means off by default and "never" means theres no option)

* TODO: I will see if java.security.Policy objects can prove safety of a plugin,
	and will change this policy if so.
	
=========
==FILES==

* Creates an "Audivolving" dir beside the Audivolv Jar file. May delete or do anything there.

* Read but not modify files and dirs you select in Audivolv or type into Audivolv.

============
==INTERNET==

* Not use internet except the specific options you turn on.

* Not automatically downloads from internet (without a web browser).

* Not runs dangerous things it downloads, including exe files and bat files.

* Not sends or receives Java code through internet then filters it for dangerous code.

* Not copies your mouse movement patterns (never screen pixels) across the internet.

* Not copies what plays on your speakers through the internet.

* Not sends what your microphone hears through the internet.

* Not shares audio files. Can turn this on/off 1 file at a time or all at once.
	Example: If if you turned on "combines audio files", and you believe you can legally do that,
	you may also want to turn on sharing of those specific new audio files.
	
==============
==RUNS WHEN?==

* Opens only when you try to run the Audivolv Jar file.

* Always completely closes when you close (not minimize) its window.

* Is completely removed (including permissions) from your computer when you
	delete the Audivolv*.jar file and the "Audivolving" dir beside it.

===================================
==EVOLVED OR DOWNLOADED JAVA CODE==

* Safe because the text of the Java code is strongly filtered.
	Its not dangerous to download viruses; Its only dangerous to run them.
	Examples: Math and logic in evolved Java code are safe, but the java.lang.System class is not.

============
==HARDWARE==

* Observes mouse movements.

* Not listens to microphone.

==========================================================================================
==YOUR ABILITY TO OBEY COPYRIGHT LAWS FOR AUDIO FILES, IF THOSE LAWS EXIST WHERE YOU ARE==

* Not combines audio files. You can turn this on/off for files 1 at a time or all at once.
	Example: If you have many music files that you believe you can legally combine,
	then you should give Audivolv 1 command to give this permission to all of them.

==========================================
==NEVER TRIES TO LEARN IF YOU BREAK LAWS==

* NEVER. If you observe someone using Audivolv illegally, you may want to contact only
	the victims and police. No action can legally be required to prepare for
	searching your computer before "probable cause" of you doing something illegal
	and a "warrant" is created "particularly describing the place to be searched".
	If such "warrant" describes all computers, that is not "particular" and is illegal.

* Not about music files, because using copyrighted music is not "probable cause"
	to think you are using them illegally,
	because a large amount of copyrighted music is legally used on computers everyday.

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
	"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,
	against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,
	and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
	and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
