Ok, and then what? These are just kids and they are not getting rich on this. Look at their donations, they make change for coffee, that's all.
My app showed up there within weeks after being published. At first I was mad. Their site showed how many people had downloaded it and I saw as many downloads as people who had legally purchased it. That was three months ago. Since then the number of pirated apps has doubled but the number of legally purchased ones have gone up 10 times. I left a comment on their site regarding my own app, saying that a cool new version is available and if they wanted to get it, they should just buy it. And some of them did. The best strategy is frequent updates. These kids always want the newest features. I realize that frequent updates won't work for all apps but if you can add something cool every 2-3 months, this may make a real difference. That being said, I wonder what the legality of a site like that is. A single C&D letter would bring them to a screeching halt but something else will open up in their place. There was another discussion here about a Kentucky guy who SOLD other people's apps for half price on Craigslist. That is even worse than what these kids do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
