Disclaimer: This method doesn’t encourage Piracy. Try the apps, buy them if you like them, support the developers so they can continue to deliver great applications.

Warning: Illegal app sharing violates the copyright and Apple App Store rules.

The Installous team that hacked the iPhone App store has come with a solution for the Mac App Store. They claim that they don’t encourage piracy but they are dissatisfied with a model where a user cannot try before buy.

App Store Faults

1. You’ll have to Re-purchase many of your apps
2. No trials, no demos, no beta versions
3. Heavily restricted, controlled Apps
4. Not many open source apps: Mac App Store violates the GNU General Public License GPL, most open source applications never make it to app store

This method works on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X 10.7 Lion
