| Wouldn't stand anyway...
The original TOS would have only stood up as long as it took to have someone challenge it.
There was a comment on another site that the copyright to GOOG would apply even if you didn't own the copyright yourself. That's just not possible. I can't transfer copyright to GOOG on content I don't own the copyright to.

There went my idea to use Google Chrome to submit music files, thus assigning the copyrights to Google and turning Google into a music powerhouse big enough to take on the RIAA.  |

If you reread the original terms, you are not transferring your copyright to Google but only giving them the right to do with it what they want (ie: A use license). This still, as you point out, does not cover those cases where you so not own the original copyright (although in that case, the original copyright owner has probably given you a license and thus probably includes the passing of the license terms to a 3rd party (but no more than you have been granted - ie: If it is a limited use license, so is what you pass on to Google). |
