Котаны, я этим постом Вас как бы просто предупредить хочу. Вот пишите вы, например, приложение. Допустим, клиент для социальной сети. Пишите год. Пишите два. Радуетесь растущему количеству пользователей, например. Может быть даже, грешным делом, монетизируете потихоньку. А потом в один прекрасный день обнаруживаете в своем почтовом ящике письмо от некоего removals@google.com
This is a notification that your application, iVk (vkontakte), with package ID ikillingtime.com.ivkontaktepro, has been removed from the Google Play Store.
REASON FOR REMOVAL: Alleged copyright infringement (according to the terms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act).
All violations are tracked. Serious or repeated violations of any nature will result in the termination of your developer account, and investigation and possible termination of related Google accounts. If your account is terminated, payments will cease and Google may recover the proceeds of any past sales and the cost of any associated fees (such as chargebacks and payment transaction fees) from you.
Please review the Developer Distribution Agreement and Content Policy to ensure that your applications are compliant with our policies.
The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. Click here for more information about the DMCA, and see http://www.google.com/dmca.html for the process that Google requires in order to make a DMCA complaint.

И собственно все. Можете писать им что нибудь в ответ, например:
I Vadim Kulibaba as an author of ivk received a DMCA takedown notice and had my app removed from Google Play store. I would like to inform you that the app itself doesn't infringe any copyright. The app is just an alternative to the official vk.com app. The app uses their publicly available APIs to communicate with vk.com. The content is hosted by vk.com. vk.com has its own legal team that handles copyright infringement claims.
Ну или купить машину с открытым верхом и поехать в Лас-Вегас. Например. Или даже выложить свое приложение в открытый доступ. Ведь в гугл плей вам все равно уже не вернуться. Такие дела.
