#2The English seems a bit funny e.g. "You have app and possibly more", you sure this is Nokia?
edit: Author's comment: "It's not from Nokia, it comes from Opera.com (non-fake address according to gmail filters)." I think the title of the post is a bit misleading.

#3This title appears to be false. We're burying this story until someone suggests an accurate, neutral title.
Also, what's the news here? Is this something more than a random scammer?

#4VERY mis-leading title. This isn't from Nokia, it's from Opera.com, which operates a number of mobile app stores, including Nokia.
And it's very likely not pirating - it's uploading an app the developer already had in an Opera store to Nokia's store.
How Opera's system works is that it will automatically upload apps (the latest version it has that works against the runtime or whatever) to the new stores that appear. It used to automatically list them for download, but they got blowback from users and now you have to validate the account. Then whatever version you have in Opera's database will become available for Nokia X.
It's not a bad way to get compatible apps in a store. I understand users might be freaked out, but you can either not confirm the email or contact Opera/Nokia and decline having your app in their store. By signing Opera's ToS, they have extended distribution rights for your free apps.

Read my comment. Not even a scammer as far as I can tell, since they got the email (and it didn't go to someone who uploaded a pirated APK to Opera with a different account name/contact info.

Ok, we changed it. If that turns out to be inaccurate, we can change it again, although so many users have now flagged this story that it won't get very high in rank.
