On: Delicious's Data Policy is Like Setting a Museum on Fire

I just want to make sure you know who you're replying to. Joshu is the guy that wrote/founded delicious.

Perhaps "in some sense" you feel that that data belongs to all of us, but it's not really your place to decide. Delicious had terms of use, and you violated those terms. Your argument sounds a bit like the "the internet is public domain" cookbook lady from last month. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now.

I know who he is. As I've said, I've dealt with him before.

He's free to put up whatever defenses he wants to put up. Other people are going to try to tear them down. That's the way of the world.
