I might be hypersensitive here, but my first thought is "is it time to jump ship"?

I refer to the "Branding" section - for the first time Twitter makes it clear who owns the Tweets in their opinion. And it is Twitter, not the users.

Bummer :-(

This has nothing to do with who owns the tweets. Rather it's an indication that Twitter want to make it easy for people to recognize a tweet across the web.

They determine how I am allowed to display the Tweet. That just plain sucks. For me it is a biggie.

If Twitter wouldn't own the Tweets, how could they make the rules for the way I am allowed to display them?

Perhaps as a condition of API usage?
