Not trying to be funny here, but is Android piracy really that big of a problem?
I thought that the Android model (adopted from Apple) was to make the apps affordable so that people were willing to spend the money to buy them legitimately and not get them illegally? And from what I have read that model seems to be making companies a lot of money. This BBC article features a lot of stats which I had not seen previously about the amount of illegal downloads for cheap apps. Again, not being funny: Is this really as big a problem as this action seems to suggest it is, or is the level of piracy in the Android (or Apple if you prefer) market being overstated as part of a broader anti- piracy campaign?
