Painful little loop that Google forces us through, but I'm quite impressed by Cyanogen's efforts so far!
Wouldn't Google be able to somehow check from their side if a phone should be allowed access by way of serial numbers? If your hardware isn't part of the allocated range, don't allow access.
Should be a fairly trivial and much more functional solution.
The phone basically just sends the serial numbers with the authentication request.

your phone should have an android id its a 16dig code made up of number and letters
u can get a app to display it to you..its called AndroidID
the market access to paid apps is based on you simcard insert into the phone and the region that is allowed is access paid apps.
when my mtn sim is in i can only get free apps, but when i put my uk sim in get paid and free apps.
i have what theses people call a Google Experience phone, lol what stuipd name for it. hahhaha
firmware= 1.5
Baseband version = 62.50S.20.17u_2.22.19.26I
Kernel = 2.6.27-00393-g6607056
san@sandroid #1
Build = CRC1
all nice and white

slightly OT....
i have htc magic.... loving the android experience. What is the reason people are modding? is it making the phone faster? are they adding more apps and stuff? when i flashed the rom on my x1 it was because the standard SE rom was dull, but what is better about for eg cyonegens mod? ive looked at his screengrabs and they pretty much what i have already?

For the magic and hero, you don't have as much of a reason.
The Dream/G1 is more limited memory wise. App2SD allows apps to run from the SD card, and you can setup the phone to use a small 32MB swap file to help alleviate RAM issues.
Cyanogen also uses a different scheduler which is more lightweight and actually more effective for a cellphone.
It also included various new features, like better camera software for one, but those are all in a state of flux. One addition that I found useful, is that it allows me to connect to networks running more advanced wifi encryption, something that was impossible on the 1.5 ROM.
