What makes Twitter think they can just steal usernames, and get away with it?
They can certainly do what they please, especially for a gratis service.
There is probably a case to sue for damages if this was run commercially, but doesn't sound like @music was.
Obviously, for whoever hasn't figured it out yet, Twitter is gone. There is a new service being set up in its wake, but Twitter it ain't.
