That sounds like a pretty standard and necessary clause; it's not assigning "moral" right to Google, it's asserting that you have the right to be controlling the content's licensing in the first place.

It wasn't to Google, it was to another company: Canvas. Also, what the hell is a moral right anyway? How is it different than any other? It just seems really scammy to me.

Look it up and post back. It's not a weird scam, it is standard copyright law regarding who can claim authorship of content.

The section you quoted just means that the user is promising not to post pirated content to Canvas
