>Harry, I think you are right, ( I only trialled it & no longer have it) but there is no obvious way to get a paid for app onto your device anyway, without buying it from google. that's the gist of my argument.
you can't download a paid for app apk from google to pc & there's no concept of download now, pay later to get one onto your device. I always thought ( though I am not an android expert) that google locked in the basic licence permissions when it delivers the app, and that those keys are then inaccessible to the average user.
I am not asking for a road map of how to workaround that, just saying that most people won't get further than seeing the basic choice of buy from play or steal via torrent sites, & in that latter case you don't need the tool 'cos it has been pre-applied.
i think we've discussed this to death already, actually.
the suggested ruling of banning it from app specific sub forums like Chaley's seemed sensible.
PS I see that the patcher in question has a facebook support page! so i'ts not exactly being driven underground at present. I guess google sees it as a minor irritant not a serious revenue threat. It would not suprise me to see google syndicated ads placed on the actual downlaod site either !
