Also for our app, when it first loads we detect your screen size and then download assets that match for that screen size only when needed.
I write a bunch of apps right now that have the ability to show video has one of the many functions of the app. Having to put an icon like this on every screen would take up a lot of screen real estate and I think confuse a lot of our users.
Complex answer: How you determine if the person is under 13 and how you get the parents permission can be done a lot of different ways. Some of the most popular is doing a test charge against a credit card number, assuming kids won't have those.
Since my card would never have been charged I don't think there's any fraud or legal actions that could occur.
