The Copy Protection feature of Android App is being deprecated
Google is standardizing on two primary tools for helping developers protect against unauthorized copying: app encryption in Jelly Bean and the Licensing Service for all platforms. The older Copy Protection feature, which announced have be deprecating back in 2010, is now going away in favor of these more advanced tools. The Copy Protection feature will no longer be available in the Developer Console starting February 27, 2013 and will no longer be applied on new downloads in Google Play very soon after that. If your app has been using this feature and you would like to continue to protect against unauthorized copying, please begin using the Licensing Service.

New Google Now: More of the information you need, at just the right time.
When computers do the hard work, you can get on with the things that matter in life. Google Now helps you do just that, giving you the information you need, before you even have to ask. Like updating you with flight times, pulling up your boarding pass when you arrive at the airport, or showing you the weather at your next travel destination. Today, we’re making Google Now even more useful by integrating new partners and making all your information even easier to access.
Going to the movies? Movie cards now include the latest ratings from Rotten Tomatoes, so you can pick the right movie. Purchase your tickets through Fandango, and Google Now will remind you when you need to leave for the theater, and pull up your tickets once you arrive.
In the market for a new home? Google Now can provide you with nearby real estate listings from Zillow. Plus, when you are checking out that remodeled kitchen at the open house, Now will automatically pull up more information about the listing.
Of course, all of this information is most helpful when it’s front and center and ready when you are. The new Google Now widget brings all your important Now cards to your home or lock screen, so you don’t even have to open the app.
When Google Now first launched last summer, we promised it was just the beginning, and it would continue to get better at delivering you more of the information you need, before you even ask. This is the fourth update since launch, and we’re just getting started!
To try out these new cards, get the latest version of the Google Search app for Android, available on Google Play for devices running Android 4.1 and above.
