That's because the software Google used didn't actively browse the networks to look for documents, but passively intercepted and logged packets. If they wrote a program that actually searched the networks for shared folders and copied information that way, then conceivably they could be guilty of unauthorized computer access.

I never was accused of that. Silly response. Google has been accused of several privacy violations.
