I haven't seen any discussion replying to your original post, but this is also a topic that interests me. On the device side, your options are limited; I think there is only so much that can feasibly be done to thwart pirates. For example, you can run your code through an obfuscation program, but that will only slow down those people determined on cracking your software.
What assumptions are reasonable to make? For example do we assume that the .apk binary is modified by the pirates, or are we satisfied if we simply stop a direct copy from one device to another, without .apk modification? That is, to what are the some of the specific scenarios that should not work? For example, one scenario might prevent direct .apk copying as long as we can assume the .apk has not been modified (to remove protections) by a cracker.
