I think I have the right to share paid apps that I purchased because they became my possession
What do you think ?
Sharing paid apps is stealing the lost revenue that the "apps" developers deserve. Thus... it is considered stealing. And posting anything that is a paid app on XDA is against forum rules and will get you either A) An infraction on your account for a length of time or B) Get you banned from XDA...
How could you not think of it as stealing? Wouldn't you be upset and yell thief if you made a paid app only to find people giving out your app for free?
Think of it this way:
One person pays for an app once for $1
That one person hosts it on another site for free
10,000 people download it for free from that other site
How much money has the developer made now do you think?

Wrong. When you pay for software, you dont own it. You only own a license to use it. The original creator still owns the app.
Google has a per-person license policy, meaning you can use the same Play Store account on all your devices. But you cant share apps to other users because they have not paid the license.
Stupid thread. Redistribution of commercial software is a license infringement and known as "piracy".

is this thread for real? look up a thing called piracy
Cosmic Dan outlined the reason why (License, not actually owning the App, as well as it destroys a Developers income from something they created)
But what everybody else missed (other than reporting this post, which would have closed it a lot sooner ) are the XDA Rules:
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community

I found a pretty popular site, its called 4shared.com. Basically, if android market isnt letting you download stuff, or the things you download dont work, just search it on there and end it in .apk (ex. facebook.apk) and download, and there you have it
There is also pokemon roms on there that arent actual pokemon games (mods with completely different stories) and i checked and it was legal. all i did was search "pokemon.gba" and downloaded pokemon versions that were made up.
Have fun
Also realize that downloading roms of games without owning the actual game is illegal. Thank you.

You realize that not only is it illegal but it violates TWO of our rules.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
Even though the product might be free, providing the means to obtain other software paid or free is still considered piracy. If you cannot download anything from Market then I suggest contacting the developer for alternatives. If they developer didn't release the application to a website and didn't give authorization for it to be there then he is under legal right to request it's removal which the responsible party must comply with. Failure to do so can and often does result in civil action against the unauthorized provider. This is why XDA-Developers will not tolerate this behavior. Link has been removed and heed this as a warning.

This is true. Thank you for pointing that out.
I was talking about free apps, I.e facebook, seeing as the free ones are the apps that never work, that's why I warned that its illegal to download paid for stuff that you don't own. But thanks for the warning, ill take this down when I get on my computer

It seems the Navigon threads have been removed. Can someone confirm this or am I just overlooking these threads?
noticed this some days ago
posted some stuff in these threads, but can't find them anymore
My guess would be that as the application is now in the marketplace to buy, the threads discussing how to get it for free are technically now against the rules...if these are the threads you were referring to?
that was my first thought as well (now available in marketplace)...
And? Is this the way a interest tread without a "why closed" to deleted?
Its for me not to understand, sorry.
Would be better, the asking for a v4 copy to delete and this users to blocked, then this way like now.

Once the "Premium" features were hacked into the Free app, it becomes Warez.
I am in the process of finding out who posted what & when. Infractions &/or bans will follow.

Many of these need root and a lot of these are not found on google playstore.

I have tried to find relevant links to the apps to save people time from searching. Hopefully the links I posted are the right ones. Please share what apps you feel are great and worthy of mentioning. Provide links when you can. Looking forward to see what other great apps are out there!
Please read the rules!!!
Why in the hell would you post warez and apps that provide warez?

Moderator Edit:
Promotion of barred Warez deleted.
So lemme get this straight, the OP has cracked Nova Launcher Prime (the paid version of Nova Launcher) and then posted it on a developer website (xda) and then f-ing shared it?! Wow!! And not only that, he then also promoted the use of Lucky Patcher, a known app for pirating and hacking in-app purchases?! Again, wow.
How are you still a member of XDA? Did you read the xda rules before posting this garbage on here?? The developer of Nova Launcher works very hard to to create an app for everyone to use and enjoy. The Nova Launcher Prime option is there so users can support the developer (and with an added bonus you get a few extra "pro" features). With you posting this, you're taking away for the developer and as far as I'm concerned, you should be reported.

Same topic already exists https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/google-cards-nova-launcher-t3622566 please do some research, it is only 2 days old. And as already said : any discussion about warez is prohibited here, see the rules if you are not aware of it.
Thread closed and illegal Warez bait removed.
You should have read the Forum Rules - you were told to when you signed up.
NEVER post cheating garbage like this on XDA.
Forum Rule, since you're ignorant of it:

Hey Guys,
Is there any possible way to crack those paid watch faces of Store & get it for free?
There is almost all paid which looks better or good.
Is there anyway to side load those watchfaces or available via any website to download & then sideload?
Plz suggest or link
Thanks in advance.
They cost peanuts. Support the developers and artists.
If you join Samsung watch faces group on Facebook they offer free coupons for testing their work.
Don't rip off the little man ffs. Contribute to reward
Yea seriously, We don't allow the discussion/cracking of paid software to begin with here at XDA, And as already stated, These cost next to nothing to own, Buy them or don't.
MOD EDIT:
@Dagcon
