The joke in question (that's it at the end) belongs to Olga Lexell, a freelance writer from Los Angeles who told The Verge: "I simply explained to Twitter that as a freelance writer I make my living writing jokes (and I use some of my tweets to test out jokes in my other writing).
"I then explained that as such, the jokes are my intellectual property, and that the users in question did not have my permission to repost them without giving me credit."
It turns out that stealing or copying tweets is actually against Twitter's terms of service, and doing so can result in an account being blocked.
Is anyone else thinking about this classic Friends episode when Ross accuses Chandler of stealing his Dr. Monkey joke?
