Jon; Regarding your quote: "Products: Software, content and digital materials created for Devices in accordance with the Android SDK and distributed via the Market."
This phrase does NOT say that *all content* is product. It says that content *created for devices in accordance with blah blah blah* is product. Data is data. As long as the distribution of the data isn't *restricted* to *only* android devices THROUGH android market, then you can do as you like. Sell your media to desktop users too. DON'T make you media in accordance with the android SDK, make it in accordance with your app, or even better, make it in accordance with STANDARDS, i.e. text files or whatever are not defined by the SDK. DON'T distribute your media via the market, distribute it via YOUR WEB SITE to which you connect the app. DO make your application complete, add a couple of free samples that people can use for free, or make it possible for users to use your app for THEIR OWN media in addition to just yours.
