Basically what Google are saying is that as soon as you store your data in their service, they can do what they like with it.

Just imagine you were a musician who had recorded a hit song. By uploading an MP3 file of the song to your Google Drive account, you are allowing Google to distribute it worldwide - your record company wouldn't be very happy.

Of course, Google are banking on the fact that 99% of people never read the small print when they sign up for online services.
