Sean, Before rapidshare and the like there was usenet newsgroups, email lists, BBSes, etc.... distribution has never really been a problem. Al.

I'm not advocating piracy, merely pointing out the reduction in user base and exposure of your application if these options were not available to the people who cannot use the android paid market due to payment issues.

I googled for my game today (to see whether it's being pirated) and immediately found it on rapidshare. I did report the abusing referral link but can't report for other guys' apps. BTW, guys, I've found *many* games on many websites... P.S. I didn't bother to protect my game because anyone with a rooted phone can pull the game out of his device and there are quite a lot of them.
