The biggest influence on Google's actions is probably public opinion.<p>If they start large scale assaults on their users' IP because of a dodgy EULA, they'd lose all that goodwill (which for Google is worth a lot). I can't see them doing it.
I think it's just as bad that they either: a) Didn't look over their own EULA, or b) tried to sneak one over us. Either way it doesn't look good on them.
So it doesn't apply to Chrome, but they say they use this EULA on other services, which I would think would be just as bad.<p>Every email I send through Gmail is Google's? Every document I create with Google Docs?
