Isn't etherDelta an etherium app/token/contract?

How is that different than running an etherium miner? Actually, didn't it run on an etherium miner? can you get a fee from a contract someone else mined because you are the author? well I guess so otherwise why would the creator be being fined? ...etherium is weird.

Sure it's just a contract, but the company still takes a cut (written in to the contract) when traders execute against orders. I'd assume that's what SEC wants their share of.
