App Store Screenshots Now Locked To Avoid Future Scams

While the App Store generally provides a clean and pleasant experience, every once and a while a huge ripoff posing as another application climbs the rankings. In the past there has been a fake Cydia, Temple Run, Pokemon and many more popular titles, and they become convincing when the scammer switches the screenshots to display content not associated with the application. Starting today (1/9/13) Apple locked in screenshots requiring a resubmission run past a review team before the change is granted. Hopefully this change will clean up the App Store for the better, what do you think?
