I'm a pinboard user, and an IFTTT user. I've also made a few recipes on IFTTT including the pinboard > Google Calendar one.

The sum of your comments on here mean that I'll be looking to reimplement all of the IFTTT recipes I use on Botize.

You've stood by your legal team and defended the ToC, in addition to how this has been communicated and handled, and what it is you're trying to do.

Are you really trying to assert ownership of content as it passes through the APIs on your site? If not... why is that even in there? If you are, then there is no way I can keeping being a user of IFTTT.

It seems to me, that when these HN episodes happen that it would be a good time to pause and wonder if the internal bubble at IFTTT in which this was thought a good idea, actually produced an externally viable good idea. I think in this case, it did not.

Agree with your last point: like it or not, these moments are pivot points and it's very likely not the right answer to try to ignore them and continue to plow ahead full steam.
