App Back-up Rendered Useless !! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently noticed that the paid apps on play store cannot be backed-up (I use AppMonster Pro for apk back-up) as any app recently purchased from play-store & viewed in the App-Monster Pro list reads as "Protected" & hence cannot be backed-up !!
I don't have a rooted device & so cannot use titanium back-up , any other means to do it ??
Why the hell is every paid-app "protected" ?? It wasn't the case a couple of weeks ago !!

Has this happened because of updating my device to JB 4.1.1 ??
Any help regarding my query guys ???

[Q] Problem with APK Backup !!

Till i was on ICS 4.0.4 , I could backup APK files of even purchased (paid apps) apps baring a few !!
Now since i updated to 4.1.1 ( and now i am on 4.1.2) every purchased app is labelled "Protected" ( I use APPMONSTER PRO for backup ) & when i try for a backup it does not give me a backup of APK file !!!
Is this a problem of updating to Jellybean or has "play store" put a jinx on paid apps so that you cannot have an APK backup ??
I have not rooted my device ( presently , i have Galaxy Note II ) & i don't intend to !! Any solution for this guys , is it possible to have a APK backup of my purchased apps ???

Without root-access, app-backup impossible, IMHO. All backup-application I used, requires root privelegies.

Google has put a lot of encryption and security issues into JellyBean to protect paid apps. I think that is the root cause of the issue you are facing..
