How can you force your app to only be installed through the Android Market? Copy-protection can be hacked. Do you mean android as a whole should do this?
Personally, I've found many websites that host my app. (wareseeker, download.cnet, androidfreeware, softpedia, allfreeandroidapps, etc) Some ask/notify me but still host it without my permission. Some just do it outright. Because it's free and adsupported I actually benefit from these downloads. So I really don't mind. In many ways, if someone took the time to post it, that is a compliment to the worth of my app...
