Summary

In this bonus episode, I'm sharing my thoughts about PodcastAdBlock, a UK based company selling and distributing AI-edited podcast episodes that strip ads from the content. I explain why I believe this is a clear case of copyright infringement, and point to a number of cases in recent years against distributors of "sanitized" versions of feature films Hat tip to James Cridland's PodNews for breaking this story. https://podnews.net/article/podcastadblock-strips-ads-and-sells-shows Enjoy this kind of content?
