Google drive, upload it and we own it...

The "do no evil" guys better change this real quick...

SkyDrive and Google Drive Terms of Service, Something To Consider


The confusion centered on a passage advising that anyone uploading or submitting content to Google Drive will grant Google "a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content."

As those words circulated on the Internet, fears about Google Drive undermining intellectual property rights mounted. Some interpreted the legalese to mean that if an author stores a novel on the service, Google suddenly owns the work and can do whatever it likes with it.

Your Content in our Services

Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.

Update: A Google spokesperson made the following statement:

“As our Terms of Service make clear, ‘what belongs to you stays yours.’ You own your files and control their sharing, plain and simple. Our Terms of Service enable us to give you the services you want — so if you decide to share a document with someone, or open it on a different device, you can.” This refers to the following sentence in Google’s TOS:

Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.

I dont understand what this post wants to make clear.

All is needed for you to download and use the files you store on cloud services. Also to make backups the need the right to duplicate your content.

use = general
host = you need to host it in order to be able to use it at a cloud service
store = like host
reproduce = backups
modify = else you cannot edit a document etc.
create derivative works = dont know
communicate = like host
publish = little like host
publicly perform = dont understand this words properly
publicly display = when you make your file available public
distribute such content = like host

So everything is logaical and needed to deliver the server. Else you can accuse them for your own actions.

Also:
” You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.”

I would not trust google either. But keep in mind, Mike is a micro$oft fanboi. Evidence does not matter in this case.
