coming up with a grade-A tweet isn't easy. That's why some people just copy good tweets from other people and act like they came up with the 140-character witticism on their own. This has been going on since the beginning of Twitter.

It now appears Twitter is using its legal authority to crack down on these tweet-stealers. A number of tweets have been deleted on copyright grounds for apparently stealing a bad joke.

One user says -

I simply explained to Twitter that as a freelance writer I make my living writing jokes (and I use some of my tweets to test out jokes in my other writing). I then explained that as such, the jokes are my intellectual property, and that the users in question did not have my permission to repost them without giving me credit.

I know many who does this.. Once I did a tweet and after few days I saw someone whom I follow with same tweet

Facebook need to do this. There's one girl i know where every single status she puts is copied from somewhere else, and even edits it slightly to make it look as though she wrote it. Mosty cringe worthy place ever.

I have all the confidence in the world that freelancers writing jokes on Twitter are replicated in the thousands.  And not because they are copying one another, but you can only write a joke about a barista getting an order wrong while these hipsters write their screenplays at coffee shops.
