3rd party OUYA sites

I have just found my game Unstable Blocks on several 3rd party websites which are offering the full apk of my game. They have taken all images from the OUYA store listing. 

I have no problem with this as the game is the same, but at present I am trying to market my game with no budget to get the game out of Sandbox, so my question is this? 

Do the downloads from these 3rd party sites act towards my total downloads on OUYA store to help get out of Sandbox. One I found is totallyouya.com the other is a French site which is saying there has been over 100 downloads. Do those 100 downloads count towards my getting out of Sandbox?

    Hey, I'm probably one of the sites that used your images and description.  We don't allow downloads from our site though.  I personally think OUYA should prohibit downloads from 3rd party sites, whether it counts toward the download count or not.

    Ed, I know your site and it is just a forum and I am so happy about the exposure, feedback and interactions I am having with your users. They even helped me find and fix a bug I didnt even know about. 

    Its sites like this:

    The french one I found cfouya.com has vanished.

    Its only because its has the apk to download and I have only submitted it to OUYA directly

    I know totalouya uses the same API calls that the OUYA store uses and does in fact count toward your downloads and probably other analytics.
