Always a concern. For which that "Spam" feature can be used, I
suppose. Which of course is far from ideal, but better than nothing. I
guess, the motto here would be: find the end of the line of all the
requested improvements of Android Market... Can you see it? It's way
back there... No, Sir, like *way* back there...

Lastly, the pop-up display does not have to, or should, make any
mention of piracy. A dev's desire to not be hassled with support for
older versions that are floating around is one good reason. The
resulting request (in housebroken terms, of course) to update the app
through the dev's channels of choice - what coincidence - should be
enough of a disguise here, and I am sure with some creativity, some
other good reasons can be found. Remember these apps go for like,
what, $2.99 or less, a pop? This (cough) is not the kind of money
you'd see supporting, say older versions of [fill in RDBMS of choice],
because your enterprise customers are slow migrating to your new
release...
