Maybe I misunderstood the post, but I believe that you can't fake internet access permission. The way I read it is that the data you were supposed to be able to fake was stuff like phone serial number. As for the "piracy" argument, the line is, as always, blurry. I guess that I could agree to calling it "piracy" if your app somehow verifies whether you have access to a resource on a server and shuts down if you don't, thus preventing me from using your app if I don't "pay" by displaying ads. The fact that I dislike that practice doesn't mean that circumventing it should not be called piracy.
