"publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content"

Please point out concrete examples of this supposed boilerplate. I'm honestly curious as to where else you've found this, as it strikes me as a very broad term where you give Google the right to do almost anything with whatever you may store.

This comes from them only having one TOS for all there services, it means it must cover everything from maps to YouTube.

Also as its been pointed out in the comets on the artical, Google need the right to publish you works if wish to share a document with someone, as Google are effectively publishing it for you.

The comments on the aritcal also make the good point that the TOS is taken out of context and sounds a lot worse than it is.
