Developers express concern over pirated games on Android Market (via @mrfungfung)
Apparently pirates run riot on the Android store. Developers already miffed at the meager sales the store attracts are seeing those sales disappear to pirates, who not only copy the game but reupload it to the store and sell it at a lower price! Even I couldn't forgive a pirate that did that.
I saw an article a few weeks ago saying that these pirated versions are often modified to include malware. So this is bad for developers AND users. Let's hope Amazon can bring some joy to beleaguered Android developers.
