I think apps which operate in a SAAS fashion stand the best chance against piracy. Unfortunately, the current terms of the Android Market make it difficult, if not impossible to do this sort of thing. Web- apps have the obvious benefit in these cases as they can house the bulk of their functionality on the server and use a stub app to access those features. As long as you can make this service worthwhile outside of the world of Android, you'd probably be OK from the current Android Market terms and conditions (please correct me if I am wrong).
