Leading members of three piracy groups that target Android, Appbucket, Applanet and SnappzMarket, have been arrested for illegally distributing Android mobile apps. They are accused of criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit cyber-crime, as well as of illegally hosting servers to support the sites distributing fake copies of the fake copies. The websites, www.snappzmarket.com, and www.appbucket.net, were seized in August 2012. The U.S. Department of Justice said the defendants are charged with illegally distributing copyrighted apps.”]
