I don't agree with this framing of Medium as the bad guy here. I posted articles to Medium (for distribution.) Hacker Noon requested that my articles by included in their publication, and I accepted (for the distribution!) Now if Hacker Noon is trying to take my articles and publish them separately from Medium, I appreciate the heads up from Medium that something different is going on.<p>Also, this email is in response to a legal agreement sent out by Hacker Noon to contributors, asking for agreement to Hacker Noon's new terms of service.
