Apparently there are more example of app copies fraud where apps are copied completely, with only different title and orkut similarity check doesn't work. I also wonder how on earth these apps got approved.
DMCA take very long time on orkut to respond and orkut doesn't take any action against repeating offenders, this contradicts an official policy where it says that accounts of repeating-infringers should be disabled. Any official response from orkut team?
