Virtually every market category is just stuffed with copyright
violators. In my favorite category, "News & Weather" there is a
developer that has about 50 apps that all violate someone's copyright.
This developer basically scrapes a web site and publishes it as an
app, and runs his ads in it. Does CNN, FOX, ESPN, NBA, NFL or MLB know
or care? Good question. I'm guessing the Android market isn't enough
of a concern to these companies yet to police it.

Do I do anything about it? No. I also believe in live and let live. If
the major media outlets don't care about apps violating their IP, then
that's their problem. Eventually Karma will catch up to these
violators and the situation will take care of itself.

I recommend you do the same. It's a big world and no matter what you
do, you can never get rid of all the law breakers. Just be satisfied
that you live within the rules.

That's my take on this anyway.
