I'm not aware of one either, but I expect that a tool would emerge
very quickly if the AndAppStore takes off when it starts being
distributed with handsets and such. You could then tweak the system to
stop the tool from working, but then the attacker would release a new
version, and you'd be in an arms race.

The reason why I say they're equivalent is that while the steps along
the way may be different, the end result is the same: people who don't
want to pay will get the apps for free. In my opinion adding extra
hurdles just wastes the developers' time and provides a juicier
intellectual challenge for those who are inclined to try to defeat the
system.
