Some of the legitimate sites like Getjar rely on heavily advertising to be able to offer free Apps. Others like Slideme, 1Mobile, AndroidPIT also offer paid Apps and like Amazon will sometimes offer users premium Apps for free as a way to promote their business. Expect to see more shady sites going out of business once Major ISPs to turn into copyright police by July9 (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=172280).
