@Mellony- Not sure if you guys understand how the full version works c: When someone buys the full version, they get a code they can use on minecraft.net with the Mojang account they must make to use said code. Once they put that in, they can download the game on any computer. Once it's on there, using the Mojang account, they can access multiplayer servers, or create single player worlds. The single player worlds are saved to the computer hard drive, which means that you can only get onto it on the computer you created it on. If someone let you use their Mojang account to download the game, and you made a single player world on the computer you downloaded it on, only YOU can see it. The account holder's worlds would not be able to be accessed by you, either- because it is saved on their computer. This is because Minecraft is like most PC games on discs- it relies heavily on the computer's memory space and hard drive, NOT online servers, as Mojang (to my knowledge) does not own any Minecraft servers itself besides the servers used to save the player skins. Besides that, outside sources can hold a multiplayer server, and many companies that have server space they will let you use to create your own multiplayer server for a fee. Those companies (for example, MCProHosting, which I use for a small personal server for friends) are not in any way affiliated to Mojang.
The only thing shared is the name the account has. For example, my minecraft name is pipamir. If I gave you guys my Mojang account email and password in order for you to download the game, you have to log into the account upon opening minecraft, and then you are logged in as me, pipamir. If you played on a multiplayer server, you would be playing as "me" using my name. Which is why I don't recommend anyone share their Mojang account info- first of all, you aren't supposed to. Second of all, not saying you and Koda would do this, but someone could go wrecking havoc on other multiplayer servers under your name, which makes you look bad and can result in you being banned from those servers, even if you yourself did nothing wrong.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to distribute the game out to people who didn't buy it, especially for other virtual currency ^u^
If you two are really desperate to play the game, I strongly suggest you make the money to buy it, and it really isn't too expensive. There ARE some downloads out there you can get it (or an older-ish version of it) for free, and works perfectly fine (although is illegal), and I've linked to one on here before.
Sorry if that was lengthy, but personally I don't think it's okay to share Mojang accounts so people can download the game whether they've bought it or not. Not that Mojang would be too hurt financially if a few people did this- they made millions last year, after all. But it's risky for the original holder of the account.
