If we were really serious about "intermediate liability" we would say that Google supplies the marketplace ONLY and that app developers are the ones who must figure out how to abide by local laws, no?<br>

When Google is accepting that it is the responsible party I am not sure, McTim, why do you have to play being more loyal than the king.<br>

</div>I prefer "more Catholic than the Pope" actually. ;-) Seriously, it's<br>
not blackmail, it's extortion by the Taiwanese.<br>

The bottom line is the CS just told the OECD "thanks, but no thanks"<br>
in re: intermediate liability. Does IGC support the CSISAC? If so,<br>
then we should support Google in this case, or so it appears to me!<br>
<br>
Either Google is just aggregating content (apps) or they are a<br>
provider of content. It seems to me they are just aggregating here.<br>

When you use the Android Market you agree to the ToS and Policies:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/android/market-policies.html" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/mobile/android/market-policies.html</a><br>
<br>
"Chargeback and Billing Disputes: Google is not responsible for<br>
billing disputes arising from purchases on Android Market. All billing<br>
issues should be directed to the Developer in question, the payment<br>
processor, or your credit card company as appropriate.<br>
<br>
Customer Support: Support for the use and operation of the Market<br>
(including how to find, purchase, download, return and remove<br>
Products) is provided by Google in the user interface of the Market<br>
application. Google does not provide customer support for Products<br>
distributed by Developers on Android Market. Each Developer is<br>
responsible for determining the level of customer support they provide<br>
and you should contact them directly."<br>
