   If we had to, lawyers would have jumped lot long ago at the yugular of   
   Google. And the regulatory bodies of several European countries. Right   
   now, France is suing some huge USA corporations for I don't remember   
   what exactly, related to privacy concerns.   
      
   And in the USA Google is also being sued for something big, too.

   Google would have to state in their conditions that they are going to   
   make use of the contact list for something akin to publishing it.
