Those are the consumer terms. Devs and publishers would instead have to look at the approval terms. (http://developer.apple.com/appstore/guidelines.html)

And lo & behold, I give you Section 11.13: "Apps can read or play approved content (magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, video) that is sold outside of the app"... yadda, yadda.

Sounds like a definition of "content" to me...

Saas does not sound like a subscription service to me, not in the traditional sense.

Content subscriptions are timed releases of packaged, curated content pushed to you on a regular schedule.

Saas is a portal that lets you access data, information and tools on an ad hoc basis.
