@Nick, I know you didn't say that (that you were being dragged in), I was
responding to what someone else said, about you. Just pointing out that
nobody is to blame if your name is on public records affiliated with things
you wish not to be affiliated with. That's sorta your responsibility.

@JP, Android is a great platform, and will be #1 in the near future; no
serious developer will ignore it, if (s)he aims to be successful. Piracy
sucks; it's easy to be angry when stupid kids earn money (perhaps more than
us) from re-selling the product of our hard work.

Nonetheless, MS doesn't fight for the copyright rights of Windows
developers, Apple doesn't fight for Apple developers, and we've really no
reason to expect Google to fight for our rights. In truth, the platform is
probably more popular because it's so easy to pirate software, and that
benefits Google. We need a good solution that works well in the $0.99 to
$9.99 per unit model. Some exist, but I haven't seen a great one yet.

In the mean time, issuing take-down notices, complaining to hosting
companies and discussing it here in the hopes of a better solution is about
all we can do for now. Any of us could sue the offenders, but it's
expensive.

Cheers!
