De-cloaking and posting some relevant info regarding the original question...
Google's "Android Market Developer Program Policies" http://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html clarifies what is allowed. *"Paid and Free Applications* "Developers charging for applications and downloads from Android Market must do so by using an authorized Payment Processor. Developers offering additional content, goods, or services for an application downloaded from Android Market must offer an authorized Payment Processor as the payment option. "The following are exceptions for the two requirements above: - Where payment is primarily for a physical good or service (e.g. buying movie tickets; e.g. buying a newspaper app where the price also includes a hard copy subscription) - Where payment is for digital content or goods that may be consumed outside of the application itself (e.g. buying songs that can be played on other music players) "Developers should not use the exceptions above as an alternative means to an authorized Payment Processor to collect payment for usage of applications. "Developers must not mislead users about the applications they are selling nor about any in-app services, goods, content or functionality they are selling." You will notice that there is no requirement of exclusivity nor price-matching for additional content, goods and services offered through the Payment Processor. There is also a very large exception for digital content and goods that may be consumed outside of the application itself. That would seem to cover many types of digital content. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
