I find it interesting that nobody is mentioning the inverse - plenty of HNers seem to think it is okay to redistribute companies' generated content (and I agree with piracy) yet many of you here are somehow thinking that because of "privacy" on a perfectly public website like Twitter that a company shouldn't be allowed to redistribute what (unfortunately) is content that Twitter owns (because the user submitted to Twitter and Twitter's terms). But what ever happened to the privacy rights of companies' generated content, why shouldn't they require you to get permission before you reshare that pirated content? I sniff double standards.
