I once had a startup that did image processing in the cloud.
Our lawyers recommended changing the TOS to allow us to use the imagery.
I strenuously disagreed, and tried to get them to explain their rationale for such a change. They never really provided a convincing answer.
(Literally, they argued that the company may someday accidentally use unlicensed imagery, and we want to protect ourselves from that liability. I suggested that the better policy should simply be more careful with our customer's data.)
