I often wondered how Amazon could afford to give away a free app every day, and now I know: it's because they don't pay out on those downloads.
I'll admit that I've downloaded dozens of free apps "just in case" I want them in the future. I've downloaded even more free games, many of which I haven't played. Now I feel bad for cheating those developers. Although to be honest, I only purchased 3 apps for my phone before Amazon's app store came around, everything else was a free app.
So basically, I'm treating Amazon's free app of the day with the same mind set that music and video game pirates treat their actions, which is: "Hey, the developer isn't really losing out on anything, because I wouldn't be buying their product anyway", although, at least Amazon's free app is legit, unlike a ripped copy on bittorrent.
