Streets Of Boston, I mentioned both of those markets in my email.
My point was that many paid apps are still not available on them. I can sit here and wave my 87p at Nicolas' Android Market entry till I'm blue in the face, but I can't give a penny of it to him as long as it doesn't let me. On the other hand, the dark and evil pirates on RapidShare supply me with the app I want with minimal fuss. The fact it costs nothing is immaterial. Despite not being able to use his distribution method, I would pay Nicolas a donation of the same amount he originally asked for, except he doesn't accept donations.
