Spot on. If TwitPic is satisfying its users, they won't export to Posterous and stay put. This just looks bad on the part of TwitPic, as they're using legal threats to prevent users from making this choice.

Which if I was a TwitPic user might be the thing that provokes me into leaving their service.

"Oh, they're trying to crack down on users exporting their data? Better export mine now then..."

I say most TwitPic users won't care about this at all.
