We did with the last update, for a short time anyway. Half the reason I want to get PR 1.2 is so I can rush to the OVI store and finally pay for part 2 of Angry Birds before it gets taken down again.
I think it's going to depend on how/if OVI has tried to fix the issue. The best way IMHO is to update the app manager to send IMEI info in some way and limit access based on that. To do it right though, you also the need to update the executable to have a simple way to plugin that info and check it at run time too. (And even that can be thwarted with enough effort.)
I just can't help but wonder how much Rovio has lost in sales by pulling their app down vs letting the cheepskates pirate it. Personally, I'd be happy to shell out a few bucks for the extra levels, even if it was available free elsewhere, to support their efforts on the N900. But then I'm an odd ball I guess, being a software developer myself that likes to get paid for what I do...
