Google OWNS Orkut, in fact, it says so on the 2nd line:

Google's Orkut social networking site

Here is the same story on TechCrunch showing how Google provided more than just an email address:

The owner of the email id Rahul Vaid was traced, using information supplied by Google, to Chakarpur in Gurgaon city of Haryana.
