The obvious solution would be to offer the app as free and then charge users to activate the app by paying you directly, but i'm guessing Google wouldn't allow that.
The only solution is this: All apps when purchased are somehow modified to only run on the phone which purchased it. All phones have a unique ID so this shouldn't be an issue. This would require the apk to be modified by Google at purchase so the apk knew only to function on the phone requesting the purchase. Then if the person who downloaded it felt he wanted to offer it as free, it would be pointless as it' only work on their phone. Seems a logical way to prevent piracy of apps, am I overlooking something obvious?
