Gmail Snooping In Your Inbox?

SPDrivers.net runs an interesting newsline. Apparantly someone's Gmail account was terminated because of suspicious files (few cracks and key generators) stored in his account:

Darkrest suspects that the Google bot which searches for certain key words for advertisers is doing more than just searching advertisement phrases; he claims that the bot is also searching for words that are associated with illegal files, such as key generators and cracks. "I was never told why my account was cancelled, once I logged into my Gmail account I noticed that my files were missing....two days later, my account was terminated. This sux man!" The user doesn't deny having illegal files stored on his PC, however states that Google has no business looking at his emails.

That makes me feel kinda uneasy. Didn't Google promise us that it would never scan for content, just ads? Curious to hear your opinion about it.
