(Click photo to go to Twitter TOS Page) Once again plagiarism of tweets has come up. Here’s Twitter’s position on copying tweets (screenshot as of March 15, 2010). I’m no expert at copyright law. Nor am I a lawyer. But it doesn’t look to me like Twitter is working to remove funny one-liners that have been tweeted without attribution to the original source. The written policy seems to be geared more towards written works that have been copied and tweeted. I know there are some lawyers among you. What’s your take on the matter?
