This is bad news for Windows Phone ecosystem.
There is no difference about DRM between free apps and paid apps, they are protected using same security.
All of phones including Emulator depend on a xml and digital signature of the entry point assembly to decide whether the Xap file is valid or invalid.

I think Microsoft should introduce more secure deployment architecture for long-term ecosystem, for example, logging Live ID to boot Xap and they can ban your ID if you pirate it, like Xbox.
