I would like to ask orkut team urgently to take off 2 copies of my applications, it seems the same app had been added 3 times.
 
The IDS that should go OFF are:

OFF http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#AppInfo.aspx?appId=117114999125

OFF http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#AppInfo.aspx?appId=277762386904

and the ONE that must stay is:

STAY http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#AppInfo.aspx?appId=446360335687

Unfortunately, I cannot remove the applications directly -- you will
have to submit a formal DMCA takedown request and let the legal team
process and act on this request. The complete procedure is located at
http://www.google.com/orkut_dmca.html#notification.

In the meantime, if the offending applications are making calls to
your server, make sure to update your own specification to sign all
requests to your back-end and start validating these signatures.
Signed requests include an application identifier known as the
consumer key. The copied applications will have a different consumer
key, so you can throw away all requests where the consumer key does
not match the one corresponding to the legitimate app.

For more on validating signed requests, please see
http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Validating_Signed_Requests.
