Isn't that how apps downloaded from the Amazon Appstore work?

The same app (as the one on Google Play) has additional "stuff" bundled inside the .apk when you get it from Amazon.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

You should start an appstore!

May become more popular than Google Play because of the lifting of the country restrictions.

Negotiate with the paid-app developers to give away one useful free app of the day, and you'll really give the Amazon appstore a run for the money.

A list of apps by version-history, so that users can pick which specific version of an app they want (a la Sourceforge), and you'll be the best appstore out there.

Sorry, got carried away...

I warn anyone against downloading APKs from this thread, without research you have no idea if they are authentic or contain malware, or are patched pirated versions.

Instead of requesting my app in a thread that is borderline against XDA rules (ok straight up against it not even borderline, but I won't be taking action as a mod), why didn't you just email me? You are putting yourself at great risk by asking a random person for my app. Send me a pm with your email, then email me (my address is in my signature) with the same email address, and I will give you a free license for premium if you are truly blocked from downloading as well as the latest APK. Please tell me how people in your country get their apps, and I will make sure TimePIN is available to them. I don't want anyone limited to access for my application

Same offer is up for anyone in a country not embargoed by US law. Prove to me you can not legally get my app, tell me how it is best distributed to people in your country. I will make sure it is available to people in your area in a legitimate way, as well as provide a free premium license for it (yes I thought about all of you in advance and made sure a way for non-play store premium licenses existed).

Not only does posting my app here violate my copyright, I am a freaking mod. I could completely be a jerk if I wanted to (I will not be, but I could have the entire thread removed). It also provides an outdated potentially buggy version of my app to users. Why would you do this to me instead of just asking me to post them publicly? For all anyone knows you uploaded malware (you did not, I verified the integrity of the APK, so I am not accusing you of doing so).

I will have this link removed, and if don't remove it from copy.com I will have the associated copy.com account terminated for violating my copyright on the application (I have good relations with copy.com professionally).

SO, specially for you, i wont edit any post on first page, for either 48hrs,or till u give a thumpsup ... U can check

ANY

link provided, and if u find any apk downloaded either from a pirated site[or not from Google Play] or is a patched pirated version/conatins malware/are not authentic, the user posting such app will be reported, and, if u cant find any, i hope u will simply say a sorry and get over it ..

About the rest of the things, i think its already sorted out ...
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Please don't start a post war. No one will win.

A developer with his own thread in XDA, and a mod to boot, has all rights to raise valid issues about his own app, and everybody should respect that.

On the other hand, this thread is invaluable for people who for completely arbitrary or plain wrong reasons have their access blocked to apps from the Play Store.

Peace.

[ EDIT ]

Might as well add : If the developer(s) provide an apk somewhere we should always point users to that instead of posting the file itself here, as in fact we have done in the past, for example giving urls for VLC or Firefox nightlies, or Naked Browser's site, etc.

I get a developer is pissed and lashing out against the thread. I also get he could raise hell about it and he hasn't.

Don't let this scale up.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] I won't say anything about anyone providing your app here, purely because I really don't care. But regarding the authenticity of the provided apps here, I have one thing to say. [MENTION=2714876]bombadier[/MENTION] and myself have discussed this previously for the exact reasons you have stated (malware/piracy). As far as we're concerned, we stand behind the things we post because the only source we agreed on posting from is Google Play itself. So please, before you start bashing people here who try to help others, and who have been willing spending a lot of their bandwidth on here posted apks, think of what you write. Just because you are a mod and/or a dev, doesn't mean you can just bash on people with less skill or knowledge of coding, but who are equally willing to help. Besides, I don't think anyone meant any harm by posting your app here, and if they have, couldn't it have been sorted out quietly?

Peace out

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I can see why you would feel offended by the statement made, but I believe you are missing the point. The point is not that you or any of the uploaders are untrustworthy, the point is that for the end-user viewing this thread and downloading the APKs, there is no way to know. This is not a personal attack upon you, as it appears you feel it is.

Generally speaking, it is often risky to download software from a location not condoned by the app's author, for malware concerns. Does that mean every such occurrence contains malware? Of course it does not. But it is a legitimate security concern, one that some people care a lot about, and others very little. From the author's perspective, you are not in his circle of trust. It is also always a good idea to ask the original author to provide a different means of distribution before downloading a copy from somewhere else.

It's no use to get angry about it, nor is any apology owed to you if none of your uploads actually contain malware (but good job if so!): security concerns do not equate to personal attacks. He even goes out of his way to mention that your copy of his APK does not contain malware as to not damage your reputation. If you ask me, you have been treated with gloves, where you could have been treated with the stick.

Mind you, there isn't really a way to verify the authenticity of an app downloaded through Google Play either, you just have to trust Google about it. Then again, the app author trusts Google, so if you trust the app author (which you should if you run their code on your machine), you should trust their choice of delivery method ... Ultimately it is always a matter of trust somewhere, though.

As is usually the case, opinions and viewpoints on all of this differ. You're not asked to agree - you're asked to see the reason behind it, and even if you do not agree, to not take it personally.

The usefulness of this thread is not in question. But aside from the security concerns one may have, there are also concerns towards the legality. Copyright appears to be actively violated in this thread, and as such I will have to report this thread to XDA's higher ups (who may do nothing about it, but they should at least be aware).

One thing that seems clear though, is that if an app's author (regardless of their association with XDA) chooses to complain about their app's presence in this thread, then XDA probably has little choice but to take action on it for legal reasons.

True as that may be, that doesn't give you any (legal) rights to access, attain, or provide the APK by other means. Whether or not that is (morally) a good or bad thing is up for everyone to decide for themselves, but for XDA it is ultimately the legality of it that matters.

Please see my response to anu.cool above. I don't really see any bashing going on here, though I can see why you would feel that way. I'm sure your efforts are appreciated by many readers of this thread!
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Agrawal:
No, u took it wrong, i never said anything about hosting or not hosting the apk here, i know hes the developer, and as developer, he has full right to come and ask for removal of his app from the thread.But, instead of simply asking for removal of app first and then taking extreme measures, he came , and yes, i call it rudeness, rudely saying what was not required to get his work done.

Also, his warning of using his authority/post/duty as a mod to remove the thread was extremely unnecessary.

I will give another example of a teacher and a student, taking and modifying jcase's words, to fit the example:

That may not really fit, but hope u get the idea...

As far as other things goes, the thread have been passed on 3 times,many times posts have been reported, then why was the thread ignored before?

I dont want to drag the thing any further, really, I hate this kind of stuff, virtual fighting and all,but, i think u missed XDA rule 2.3's violation above[even tho hes a mod himself.!][yeah, i know u took ur time to explain how 2.4 doesn't fit ..]

Again,the apps are publicaly available, and u[or anyone else] can verify anytime the authancity of the apps posted ...

That said, i will really love to close the discussion here, and if it really deserved the treatement by our fellow member, jcase, then i dont think the thread needs to exist ..[Food for thought:Why is this sticky?]
[Android Apps and Games] Frank Westlake:
Those are two issues: trusting the author and trusting Google. I might trust an author, such as you, but I do not and will never trust Google with my personal and private information.

It was not violated. The author published his application for free use and neither the application nor his release prohibit free redistribution. Continued redistribution now that he has made his statement could be a violation if a US civil court decides it to be so, but the authors desire should be adhered to in this case.

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Frank Westlake, anu.cool, et al. And Chainfire.

There's very little room to argue and reply to Chainfire.

For what it's worth I think the developer had a hissy fit, that 1 ) was an emotional reaction, 2 ) in essence however was right, it's his project, and 3 ) ultimately his post was harmless like a scolding without punches, no need to start a fight with him, just do as he asked. He was angry, but like Chainfire wrote, quite fair even checking the integrity of the apk posted and clearing the thread of fault about posting malware in his case.

That discussion is over. The point now since people 'above' have been notified, is whether XDA considers this thread a legal liability or not and how it affects us from now on.

I'd argue that :

1 ) It's better to keep this reliable thread alive rather than have users looking for apks in malware sites. The point is moot, however, if XDA does not want to deal with angry developers and / or Google itself, surely none too pleased about us mirroring Play Store content.

2 ) Regarding Chainfire and other mods reviewing the situation. Be fair. The XDA forums are full of threads re-packaging ( not simply mirroring without modification of the original whatsoever like we do here ) and re-distributing Google's own applications. I don't see those threads disappearing any time soon and those would worry me way more than what's posted here, from a legal point of view.

Peace.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
yeah i guess so... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
To my understanding of IP laws, you never had the right to post the app in the first place. You violated his copyrights, and you consider him to be the rude one? Considering that, I found his post to be rather mild.

That entire section is just a statement of fact and the actions he will or will not take.

I assure you I have not heard this thread being discussed before in the upper ranks of XDA. But it has been brought to attention now, and it is under review. I would not base justification for this thread on the fact that it has not been closed yet or that it is a sticky - because that situation might change very quickly.

I'm not fighting with you. I'm explaining maybe, debating maybe, I have no ill will towards you or any others in this thread.

The app author hasn't done anything wrong and doesn't need to say sorry like you initially stated. I really don't see the rule 2.3 violation (you are however welcome to try to find a moderator that does).

While we're at it though, it can be argued that this thread does violate rule 9 (don't post copyrighted materials), and rule 12 (requiring you to first seek the author's permission before using their works), and the rule 2.3 violation that you claim is only a result of those prior violations.

The people you are making this thread for cannot verify the authenticity, which is the whole point of the thread (and already implies it is not available publicly without reservation). If they could download the original from Google Play to verify against, they wouldn't need this thread in the first place.

While that is certainly a valid point, from the app author's perspective that does not make any other distribution method he did not choose more trustworthy, or his raising concern about that method less valid. All the more reason to have asked him for a copy directly, though.

The case has become slightly less clear cut since the servers were moved from Amsterdam to the USA some years ago, but I would be personally interested in seeing you backup that claim (precedent, etc). It may well ultimately have influence on whether or not this thread is allowed to remain.

As far as I can see, the application has not been released for "free use", it has been released "free of monetary charge". These are two different things, and as far as I am aware, free redistribution rights are only implied if one offers something for download without any strings attached (which for some of the apps may well be the case), and even then depending on the country.

In case of primary distribution through the Play Store however, the agreement for the store itself (that you have to agree to before signing in the first time) already covers that you may not freely redistribute apps taken from the store. There is no need for the app itself to explicitly re-state this.
[Android Apps and Games] justmpm:
Can I ask everyone to please return to the topic of this thread. For the time being this thread is "allowed". A developer asked for the redistribution of his work to be removed from this thread and it was. I don't think there should be any argument about this, google's privacy practices, and so on.

As this thread moves forward, can I ask the people providing apps to please check xda to see if there is already a thread for any apps that people are asking for and to either provide them a link to the thread or inform them that it is available elsewhere on xda.

If there are any unresolved issues about this, please PM me or one of the other moderators and I will try to clear things up for you.

Read my post, I based no one. I did handle it fairly quitely, just because it was on XDA. They violated my copyright. What they did was legally, no different than what the piracy sites do. I took a different route, asked for it to be removed instead of DMCA'd them, offered to find a better route to get it to people without access, and offered free premium licenses to those that could not get it from the playstore.

Did I bash anyone? No i didn't. Could I have caused a huge fuss myself? Absolutely, I am good at it. Instead I just asked for my single app to be removed by the person who illegally copied and distributed it.
[Android Apps and Games] jcase:
Make no doubt my app is a commercial application, that clearly prohibits redistribution of any kind. There is a huge reason for this, it is because people distributed out dated versions of the app, like what was being done here.
