Federal Judge Says Embedding a Tweet Can Be Copyright Infringement
"Rejecting years of settled precedent, a federal court in New York has
ruled [PDF] that you could infringe copyright simply by embedding a

all in-line linking, not just embedding tweets. If adopted by other
courts, this legally and technically misguided decision would threaten
millions of ordinary Internet users with infringement liability."
