My thoughts exactly. Do I own my tweets or not? I don't see how having a service outbound my tweets anywhere would be a violation.

You need to post them into a service that you have control over (maybe an open source microblog that runs on your server for example) and then cross-post into Twitter.

Is Twitter's policy that the users do own their tweets? I never heard that claim before. I would have assumed not.
