it's way too easy to get around that.
also, having copyrighted content is not illegal. it is legal to make backup copies of something. google has no way of knowing what kind of external agreements a user may have made regarding sharing. they might ban it anyway, but that makes other services who don't ban legal activity attractive.
Those interested in google's slippery-slopes should look into "keyword warrants" [1] and "geofence" warrants [2]
