Piracy, how could I forget... That, as well as no-charge (free) app releases that remain installed on users' devices "forever".
I figure Google would have everybody using the Maps API pull new API keys and give developers a grace period to update and secure their apps. Finally, the old keys would expire and users of old versions, including free and/or pirated versions, would see the grid only. At any rate, we'll need a subscription model in case Google envisions to charge devs on a ongoing basis. Could be handled directly through Android Market/merchant accounts. One problem: Devs in countries that are locked out from charging in Android Market would be locked out from developing apps using the Google Maps API.
