When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts game, Lugaru HD, on the Mac App store, they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double. A counterfeit version of the software is currently available on the app store (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/lugaru/id413243755?mt=12) at a much lower price point under the name Lugaru. The best bit: as yet Apple have not responded to Wolfire's emails (http://blog.wolfire.com/2011/02/Counterfeit-Lugaru-on-Apple-s-App-Store-developing) to rectify the situation. While the source to the game was GPLed, 'the license made it very clear that the authors retained all rights to the assets, characters, and everything else aside from the code itselfhttp://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/02/03/1335213/Pirated-App-Sold-On-Mac-App-Store
