Who says what on Twitter? News report on, tabloids anyway, and sure, brands pay for. Celebraties are selling insidious advertising on Twitter. For example, Charlie Sheen's Tweets are priced at 40.000$ for commercial usage. The value of a Tweet depends on the amount of people read it, that's obvious, but how about copyrights? Is the thought of copyright protected Tweets absurd? An official Retweet always mentions the author, but how could the author proof that he is the author?
Twitter allows only to browse through the latest 3,200 Tweets, all older have lost their author and therefore their copyright. It doesn't make sense to make screenshots of Tweets, or to store them in private databases, it's to easy to fake. Tweets can not be intellectual property, they are subject to the freedom of copy. -------------------------------- Super RT http://superrt.com/ // Kim Asendorf // Gottschalkstr. 49 // 34125 Kassel ████████████████ ████████████████ mobile: +49(0)176-2164 3781 at office: +49(0)561-50 62 390 ████████████████ www.kimasendorf.com ████████████████ twitter.com/kimasendorf
