I've noticed that from the beginning. All the apps offering (IP-infringing) ringtones and soundboards, pretty much from day one, never mind pirated ebooks and so on. I think Google's strategy is kind of the Youtube/safe harbour policy: Let people decide what they want to see, take things down on complaints.
I'm not saying this is the smartest idea, because I tend to be quite wary about any app that has permissions I can't immediately determine (why does a calculator need full network access? Okay, perhaps ads, but I don't know that), but that appears to be their strategy.
