I'll leave this as iPhone specific because I don't know if this affects iPod users.

'Measures' have been implemented into some newer applications that allow for the detection of illegitimate usage. The application sends information about the device -specifically the UUID- and after a specified period, the app no longer functions (effectively a trial-license period).
