Red’s Army vs. Marc Cuban
March 30, 2009

I’m gonna totally blow this out of proportion with that headline… because I want to.  Actually only because a Twitter conversation I was having with Marc Cuban about Tweets being copyrighted became fodder for a post on With Leather.

RedsArmy: @mcuban Unless you’re set to “private”, anyone can go to your twitter page and see what you’ve said. IMO, that’s a big difference.

Cuban: @RedsArmy Since when did any tweet become public ? Its for followers/subscribers

The conversation was originally between FanHouse and Cuban… and I hopped into the conversation.   Cuban is pissed his tweet blasting the refs cost him $25 grand… and now he wants to claim that ESPN using his own words in a story is somehow a copyright violation.  I think his argument is ridiculous, but I would classify our conversation as civil.  I sure as hell got a kick out of it.
