Anti-piracy legislation and LE will be the answer there. Yet another model -publisher apps-wouldn't depend on Google at all. There are a couple of different models out there

Again, I don't know that I would prefer any of this . But if Amazon can disrupt the traditional model, the publishers can play the disruption game too. They have the product: at some point, it makes good business sense for them to dis-intermediate the middleman, if the middleman grows too powerful.
