Some further analysis that argues this is fair use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49439657
they certainly havr given that license
otherwise my browser could not make reproductions and store caches
they have granted a licence to HN (and YC-affiliated companies), not anyone else. It's that licence that permits HN, and HN only, to send users' content to your browser
So if someone uses a VPN to access Hacker News, the VPN is infringing copyright?

Nobody should have those rights. Copyright has been a disaster for the human race.
Didn't realise everything I posted online was copyrighted by default
Any creative work you create is copyrighted by default as soon as it is recorded onto some medium, at least in the US. https://www.copyright.gov/what-is-copyright/
Interesting. Maybe I'm thinking of "registration" in regards to copyright which is talked about in that link.
