A patched and pirated application would likely have no interaction with the Market application whatsoever (any previous interaction being removed), so Market can't really do anything about it.

If so, there's a mobile platform for you, and it isn't Android ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
