I would like to get your opinion. These two articles discuss how Google has the right to use, reproduce, and do whatever they want with all images uploaded to blogger [ie. all the artwork. personal photos, etc. on my blog]. Should I be worried about this, or do you feel the authors are paranoid?

I'm leaning towards being a little worried. It sounds like Google has claimed more power over the content of our blogs than is necessary for providing the service. The point was made in the comments of the second article that Yahoo's terms of service claimed the "license to use... solely for the purpose for which the Content was submitted..." This seems more reasonable to me. What do you think?
