A person with a rooted device can copy whatever (s)he wants. You need
some form of DRM to prevent such copies from (readily) working on other
devices, such as:

[android-developers] Downloadable apks

2010-02-21 Thread André
Hi,

I have noticed that some apk's that cost money on android market are
available to download from some torrent sites for free. I don't think
many of the developers here enjoys that very much.
So my question is if there are ways in Android to get around this so
that you can't copy a program from device to device?

regards
André
