I would like to see this link as well, hacker. I just had a look at gmail's Terms of use (https://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/terms_of_use.html) and it clearly states there:

---------------8<------------------------------

You also agree that you will not use any robot, spider, other automated device, or manual process to monitor or copy any content from the Service.

This says to me that Google specifically does _not_ own content.
