From the release: "Seizure orders have been executed against three website domain names engaged in the illegal distribution of copies of copyrighted Android cell phone apps, Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Department of Justice's Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates of the Northern District of Georgia and Special Agent in Charge Brian D. Lamkin of the FBI's Atlanta Field Office announced today. The department said that this is the first time website domains involving cell phone app marketplaces have been seized. The seizures are the result of a comprehensive enforcement action taken to prevent the infringement of copyrighted mobile device apps. The operation was coordinated with international law enforcement, including Dutch and French law enforcement officials."
But there isn't an Android piracy problem! The fandroids said so!!! This is all just Apple FUD!!
No, I'm not an iShiny faggot, either.
It's about time !!
When will we throw off the tyranny of Europe and their wild view of copyright? I for one am tired of having to jump every time some Dutch or French bureaucrat decides our copyright enforcement is too lax.
The world is made by those who show up for the job.
Have you tried contacting employers in countries other than Uganda to see if they'd sponsor your work visa?
