 From the news item


      "Android Market already provides a 15-minute refund window for all
      paid apps --- which reflects the fact that apps are delivered
      over-the-air instantly and most users who request a refund [could]
      do so within minutes of their purchase," the company said in the
      statement.

It should be obvious that whoever controls the market and provides a 15 
minute refund window must also be the one considered responsible for 
*not* providing a 7 day window as per the requirements of the local law. 
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.
