A few months ago, I received a notice out of the blue that my app was
being included at AppsLib and that I could click a link to manage the
application at their site. They apparently skimmed some apps directly
from Android Market to build their library, and then retroactively
contacted the authors to invite them to use AppsLib. It took several
days of me trying to contact them (during which I watched as my app went
through their QA compatibility verification process), but they pulled my
app when I explicitly told them they didn't have permission to use it on
their site or system.
At this point, I consider them just barely more legal than pirates.

Hello,
What do you all know about AppsLib?
I know they were a small startup store who partnered with Archos to
provide them with an app store on their devices.
Recently we found that they are distributing pirated software,
including an old copy of our product, PhoneMyPC, for free.
We have contacted AppsLib several times, and Archos directly twice,
only to be ignored by all parties.
We had AppsLib in our list of markets to release products into once
our licensing mechanism is finalized, but we have now removed them and
will not do business with them. I sincerely hope Archos device owners
can download SAM from SlideMe, or some other reputable app market.
What's your experience? Is this unusual for that store, or is this
just how they do "business"?
Warm regards,
