replyI guess my brain has been cooked by internet libertarianism but what's the basis of a C&D for proxying a website?
replyIs the legal basis just copyright of the contents?
Bigger "guns" diplomacy. They don't need any legal basis for a C&D. Just depends on whether you have enough money to fight it in court.
replyi dont know the legal basis used, or the validity. i just know that i wouldnt want to have to spend the time or money fighting twitter over it
replyWell yeah the copyright violation is pretty clear cut here.
replyMy understanding is that copyright of what's posted is retained by the poster. The Nitter C&D was around a ToS violation for scraping.
