“But copyrighting a tweet would be a difficult-to-make and hard-to-enforce legal claim – for
many reasons. Most tweets cannot be copyrighted because of size, content and scènes
à faire issues.”
BROCK SHINEN’S WWW.CANYOUCOPYRIGHTATWEET.COM
“I admit, I think a protectable Tweet exists in theory. I have read hundreds if not thousands of
Tweets and have yet to read one I believe would be protectable, but the possibility exists. The question is not: Are Tweets Copyrightable. The question is: Is This Tweet Copyrightable.”
