Is it really true that all pirated apps have to have a "signer identity"?

More generally, do the pirates HAVE to modify the info.plist in some way to pirate the app?
this piracy method is better than nothing, but very weak. this method has been used way too many times for it to be effective, and a half-skilled pirate could get around this in minutes. pirates need not touch the info.plist to crack an app. of course the info.plist tweak is much easier, but still.

a better, but still weak method is to compare md5 checksums of the info.plist.
