I'm feeling very ambiguous over the recent Dropbox fiascoes.
Call me naive, but I really do believe Drew, Arash and the rest of the Dropbox team really do have the best intentions.
On the other hand, they continuously keep tripping on their own shoelaces with horrible PR management and lackluster communication with their customers.
Dropbox should have expected that their newly published TOS would be scrutinized down to a microscopic level, making the latest shitstorm possible.

The fact is that there isn't anything out of the ordinary here. I defy you to find a popular content sharing service that doesn't have some kind of license granting clause in its terms of service or eula.
