原文:
“When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) 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。
The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing you have added to Google Maps). Some Services may offer you ways to access and remove content that has been provided to that Service . Also, in some of our Services, there are terms or settings that narrow the scope of our use of the content submitted in those Services. Make sure you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any content that you submit to our Services . ”
譯文:
“一但你上傳了,你給了Google(及相關人員)全球範圍的許可,可以使用,集合,存儲,複製,修改,衍生(比如翻譯、改編及其它我們認為需要的使你的內容更合乎我們服務的修改),交流,公開,公開傳播,公開展示與分發的些內容的權利。
你授予的這些權利允許我們將其用於且僅用於操作、優 化和提升我們的服務,以及開發新的服務。這項權利在你停止使用我們的服務後仍然持續。有的服務允許你訪問和刪除你上傳的內容。有的服務允許你限制我們對你上傳內容的使用。你確實你給予了我們適當的許可。”
如果用戶同意了以上這段話,那麼Google就可以通過壓縮、複製來存儲你的文件。就就是說,Google Drive擁有的不僅僅是作為文件本身,同樣它還獲得了對其中內容的使用與展示的授權。
假如,一位用戶是某卡通形象的設計者,他將自己的作品保存在Google Drive裡了。按照上述條款,Google是有權利在在它自己的主頁上採用甚至修改這個卡通形象。即便你從你的雲空間裡刪掉了這些形象,但根據上述條款,Google仍然可以繼續展示使用下去。
當下的我馬上取消Google每一個月付費的空間,回到Dropbox了。在台灣也是如此嗎?如果是真的那真是Google雲端硬碟美中不足的地方。
