Is it just me or does it feel very wrong that this app profits from copyright infringement? Can companies like Apple sue for damages from his Fake iPhone 4S app?

The other Android income report which shows up here often is from kreci who profits from similar prank apps (https://market.android.com/developer?pub=KreCi.net&hl=en) which feed off of ad revenue.

Personally, I try to strive for a higher standard of app which should be the goal of most Hacker News readers.

Agreed completely. It seems crazy that the author is flaunting it too, as I'm sure that will make it more likely that he'll catch legal flak.
Seems hardly worth it for ~1K a month too.
Samsung shamelessly rips off Apple icons (sometimes without changes in promotional materials), makes billions: Apple's the big bad for suing them.

This developer blatantly rips off Apple's icons, makes $1k in a month: Apple should sue this guy!
