Don't Be Evil

Apparently, there is some troubling language in the contract governing Google Apps, which effectively gives Google ownership of the content you have created using their product.

As a frequent user of Google products (including Blogger, our web host), I am generally pleased with their services and am looking forward to what they will do in the future. However, I feel the need to remind them that barriers to entry in this market are extremely low, and a few enterprising young people could easily swoop in and steal their business if they don't treat the customers with respect. So cut out the bullshit censorship in China and don't include sneaky legalese in your boilerplate terms of use contracts.

Oh yeah, and please don't kill us.
