Copycat alert!! Hacks that have proliferated the market!

More and more apps are ending up pirated or modified, thanks to lax ‎security from developers and OEMs. These people know ‘How to steal a ‎million’ in street smart ways.

Some of the paid apps are not properly validated allowing ‎smart pranksters to download the programs without paying for them. Then these ‎contents get modified in different forms and hues. Duplicate copies that ‎excel the original version. Xerox needs to be complimented for their ‎ingenuity. Copycats excel as they are always smarter.

One reason could be that the application is not affordable, that allows ‎another affordable version appear in a different form. What we have to ‎understand is that the web has opened up the markets, and the markets ‎are not confined to the local store or the region. In a market that spans ‎the universe, the numbers can be mind boggling. Surely there exists a ‎price tag that one is willing to pay, rather than get it without any charge, ‎but at the same time would not face the threat of an affordable ‎duplicate version.‎ It is not known how many applications are affected. However, the ‎popular game ‘Angry Birds’ is one that has been pirated.As an assertion of the theory of numbers, it is alleged that as many as one ‎million apps were downloaded from the iPad on the very first day! ‎
