Piracy
I'm curious as to how they discovered that 80%. I'm assuming (I know, bad idea) that they post the app on the app store (well, Apple does after reviewing it) and someone has to buy it in order to pirate it or is the App store itself broken into? If the former how is it distributed and how then do they get that pesky 80% number. If the App store is being broken into, then I'm curious what Apple's response is. This would be huge news and a major upset as the App store is one of Apple's ecosystem crown jewels. We need more information for this article to make much sense. Thanks
