Subscription-based pricing apps in Handango Android market !?

I was surprised when finding this about the first unofficial Android market by Handango, who is already there online since October 2008 offering free and paid apps, even offering monthly/quarterly/yearly subsription-based pricing apps! It is very late to find about this though. 

I was then looking for some others references talking about this, some news reported #1 #2 

From those sources, however, Handango tends to rips off the user as well as the developers. Handango takes about 50% of the revenue, 25% to developers, another 25% either to developer or third business parter of Handango (if the apps are downloaded from such third party website. 

One thing that I am still curious is how Google reacted to such unofficial Android market. However I have not found any source talks about it in the internet. Google could lose some potential  revenues due to the competition from Handango. On another hand, I am also thinking maybe for a short term Google wants to see and use it as a marketing tool for the Android, until sometime when the official Android Market with paid and perhaps subscription-based pricing shows up how it goes.
