If someone copies the receipt from a free app into the Angry Birds app, it will run, as it only verifies a valid receipt is present. It doesn't check to make sure the receipt is for the Angry Birds app like it should.

Not sure why people are giving the Mac App Store grief because of that though especially since it hasn't actually been "hacked" in any fashion. It isn't the fault of Apple that the software vendors didn't follow the Apple guidelines.

I'll update my old Mac Mini in a bit and give it a whirl.
