Yup. Note that the quote above doesn’t pertain just to Google Drive; it covers all their services.
Amazing find.

Btw according to this shit any accidental leak is not a leak any more, it is fully licensed authorised publishing :-)

I think in few years they'll be paying you and all OSs will have functions that you won't be able to turn off that will mirror all files to their cloud. Just for safety :-)

After reading about sharing on the features page, I wonder if they will force individuals to sign-up for an account in order to view shared content. It is a deal breaker... similar to creating pristine video in .RM format and then forcing the viewer to install Real Player to access the content.
