    no no, it isn't a capability for misuse, that's the main idea at lucky patcher... everything else is a benefit...

    "librtmp" I'm not sure if it is 'illegal' or not, so because of that, I don't think so too...
    I'm not so sure that lucky patcher is illegal at all. It is only a tool, and a very useful one at that. It can be used to check whether an apk has been previously modified, you can use it to modify the contents of an apk without having to decompile, it can be used for backups, to block intrusive advertisements, to block spyware like activity which is hidden from the user inside an apk, manual patching of code sections (again, without decompiling) and much more!

    Just because a tool has the capability for misuse, I don't think that makes it illegal, and if you mean that it's illegal because of offering the ability to emulate in app purchasing that's not a very good argument either because this doesn't work on hardly any apps at all anymore.

    Most developers are aware of this and have fixed it so that unsigned purchases are not accepted, or so that purchases cannot be signed when the app is tricked into thinking it's offline, or by eliminating in-app purchases for upgrades (such as pro version) and instead linking back to the pro version in the app store as a separate app. Another way developers are getting around the in app purchase emulation is by having the app check against their own servers to verify the purchase, and not just through Google.

    Yeah it sucks that developers have had to do that, but really it's better and more secure for everyone.

    I use lucky patcher constantly, primarily for ad removal, and wouldn't think twice about including it in any ROM I released. You might argue that people rely on those ad revenue and you should by the pro version to remove ads. I disagree. If the only difference between the regular and pro version is ads then there shouldn't be a pro version.

    If it's about money, then show people how good your app is with a trial, limited version for free, with either a shorter trial period, or limited functionality. If people want it they will pay a reasonable amount for it.

    Many websites rely on ad revenue as well, but I still use adblock plus, that's certainly not illegal and is in many ways a necessary protection for browsing the web today. I would say most malicious attacks begin in unchecked or untested ads on many many sites. I have not had a single severe virus infection in years and I think a lot of it is because of adblocking.

    Another analogy is commercial advance since the introduction of things like TiVo, etc. Television networks rely on ad income, too and yet again, not illegal. Same with radio! Fm radio and AM rely on ads just like the rest of the world, but it can't be forced upon me. They cannot stop me from changing the channel when the ads start.

    So why should I be forced to deal with ads in software? Let the same people who watch ads on tv and listen on radio be the same ones to look at it on their phone. Me? As much as possible I stay advertisement free.

    Cheers guys. Sorry to make you endure another off topic Sawbones rant of the day. Please, don't take this personally no_spam_for_me. I just feel kinda strong about the issue and once I started writing I had to get it all out.

    Oh, last thing...I'm pretty sure librtmp is part of all XBMC releases for a long time now.

    Cheers,
    -SB
