I also don't like companies installing software without permission. Sony put out a whole lot of CDs that installed a rootkit on computers that played them. I haven't bought a CD from Sony in years.

It may seem Google is snooping into private matters but clearly they are preventing third party developers from collecting sensitive data that may be used illegally.
I'd certainly prefer Google doing some appropriate policing rather than the Android market getting filled with suspicious activity that endangers the private material of its users.
Apple regulates their market far more. At least Android remains a free and open market. But freedom can't mean illegal activity. Otherwise we all lose freedom.
