Preface
This article was not written to teach people how to pirate or ridicule Google's Android License Verification Library (LVL) that handles communication with Google's Android Market Licensing Service.
I am very much against piracy, and very much pro-Google. I have spent more time researching copy protection for my applications than development of the applications themselves.
I would like to thank:
- the author of Star Hunt for allowing me to use his application in my demo video
- the author of Tasker for allowing me to use his application, which has the best implementation of LVL I found, in this article
Both of these applications are available in the market - I highly suggest you give them a try.
