You are absolutely right. :-) Make it more simple to buy stuff and even less people will flock to these warez sites.
Although a simple system (e.g. tying an Android Market purchase to your google e-mail used by your phone) could be handy. In itself, this still may be easy to circumvent by hackers. But I hope that hackers have less interest in doing work for $0.99 --> $10 apps than in hacking software packages worth 10s and 100s of dollars.
