[android-developers] Re: I've found a way to stop piracy of my apps

That argument assumes that I don't respond to those cracks with
improvements to AAL that will make it more difficult! :) Also, each
app will need to be cracked individually, and I'm trying to work out
some ways to make that a job that isn't cookie-cutter. The point here
is to get this past the pain threshold where it won't be worth the
trouble for an app that is only a few bucks.

This is fascinating stuff, but very, very non-lucrative. I don't
really want to engage in this game, but I don't see an alternative
until it gets solved at the platform level.

Given the lack of commercial interest (and the prodding of several
smart devs), I've considered opening this up, but I'm not sure how to
do that without it simply lowering the barrier for pirates.
