This has been hashed out before, but basically, here's my feeling. Your
app isn't important enough to me to let you store stuff that I can't
remove from my device. I don't care if it's the coolest, newest, most
amazing thing in the world. The people who are going to pay will pay, and
those who don't want to, won't. The minescule amount of $$ you might not
receive is not worth polluting the entire world's devices.
