The difference is that no one is claiming that someone uploaded a license-freed app (although they do). In this case the user downloaded the licensed app *that they did not pay for and still has the license check* and used the tool to remove that license check. I submit again that this is very different from downloading a book I paid for then removing DRM so I can read the book.

Good luck with running Alf's tools on a DRMed book you didn't buy.
