Hmm... while google might not use your email address for spamming purposes; if it appears on google, a spam bot might try to use google itself to find addresses, which in fact might even be more efficient than manually crawling websites.
What I mean is that if there is nothing telling the bot not to crawl a page, it might be kind of hard to use this system in court, since bots obviously can't understand license agreements.
