For what it's worth, the piracy issue was a real eye-opener for me
when I released my first iPhone app. The app included a web service
which simply logged an anonymous user ID on my site so I could
distinguish between users. The ratio of paying to pirated users was
staggering. After awhile I also a

While there are thousands of things you can do to make it more difficult
for someone to pirate your application, they all come at the cost of
making it that much more difficult for your user to purchase your
application and/or make your application more fragile. Many anti-piracy
methods keep

That is debatable. For

android.provider.Settings.System, ANDROID_ID, is a unique ID per device.
Note, though, that this is not stored in ROM, and so rooted devices can
hack their ANDROID_ID. Also, ANDRO

More importantly - do Android devices have unique hardware identifiers
like the iPhone's UUID?

I got a question for you guys. Assuming you know how and have the means to
set up a server.. why can't you have your app send a "code" or something to
this server.. to verify its a valid copy. If the copy that is out on those
hosting sites has the same code.. you can at least have your app hit the

You would appear to be mistaken:

Would it be feasible to authicate the app with a google checkout
number like copilot does?

Yeah, I believe iPhone has the advantage here since it won't even
allow you to install apps from outside app store. That has its own
negatives, but it at least protects the developers (and the consumers,
actually).
Until something like that happens, I'd try the traditional desktop
software tricks,
I would suggest contacting the company and informing them of
their infringement of your software. If they refuse to remove it you have
the right to get a lawyer. Check out this site
http://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/ and on the right check out How
to report intellectual property crime. The

You must be new around here. Google doesn't do "support".
But good luck all the same.

My question is why would google do anything. These are your apps. You hold
copyright not google. You have to do something. Unless you are finding
Market or Maps on these sites google could care less and rightly so.
Now with that out of the way you can contact the owner of the site and ask
them
I too would like to know if Google in particular is doing anything to
help us developers out. As apps grow in popularity the more they are
pirated and the harder to get them all taken down. Ideally there
would be a spot for developers to submit pages that are hosting our
apps illegally and Google
I've been in "the business" for quite some time, and I know that
drill. But I do not accept your reply as a useful response to this
problem. This problem is damaging to the entire development community
as a whole as well as the forward progress of the platform. Few
developers will be interested in
shut one down 3 more pop up, its an unavoidable part of software
development.
