Right you are D/\sh, plus I think that there are a relatively small number of people out there are "pirating" software compared to the number of people that have smartphones...plus it would seem to me that the companies make a majority of their money by selling their apps to corporations who have a need for that app and have tons of people that have company provided smartphones...its kinda like the music industry, artists make way more money through concerts, public appearances and endorsment deals than they do selling cd's
