Great information. I believe the Eris's problem is in fact the copy protection. I also know the Hero had this problem when launched in the UK.
Can anybody estimate the risk of dropping copy-protection? I know our app is pirated already, but is it so much easier to copy without the protection that we might have a real problem? Our app uses resources (even when it's not being used) on our servers, so a giant change in the paid/stolen ration could cause us real problems.
