Yes, that's what I was getting at. I didn't want to simply say it because talking about ways of circumventing DRM is legally shaky ground. > well, if someone is willing to do that for every single update > of an application, then they are certainly determined enough to do a one > off rooting of their 'phone and get past the Android Copy Protection > mechanism, so again. My point is that the effectiveness of both systems is equivalent, so why should Google go to the effort of implementing an elaborate system when the simple system works just as well and is already implemented? You might say that removing the checks from the binary is difficult, but the problem is that only one person needs to figure out how to do it and release an automated tool to do so and then the floodgates are open and anyone can do it. Anyway, I apologize for getting a little flame-y in my previous posts. Did I mention that I dislike DRM? It tends to get me a tad riled up. -- Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
