you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes that we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content...

What sort of idiot would voluntarily relinquish all of this to Google and every other Tom, Dick, and Harry that Google plays with?

Stay tuned for a thread whining about what Google has done to/with someone's photos & other information.
