Hey, go build your app store and sell your apps...until you do no...your not a merchant...your a supplier. Google App store is the merchant.

You seem to not understand your role here. You are not the making the sale. Google is. You simply getting your book/album/software distributed by a merchant. /really is that simple

Does that mean that people who sell apps on Amazon or eBay aren't merchants either?

You're the one who seems not to understand. The middle man doesn't matter. If I am making a transaction with a customer, I am a merchant.

For those unfamiliar with Golan v. Gonzales, it's worth noting that JRR Tolkien's works and several novels by HG Wells are covered by this case.

You're acting as if Microsoft created the malware.
