    MAKER of entertainment gear Apple has decided to issue cease and desist notices to all those who use the word podcast on their web sites.

      as leo laport sad on this subject
      simple solution would be to use the term webcast from now on
      sounds better for what it is.

          That wont hold up.

          Apple can tell people not to use "ipodcast", but they have no leverage over "podcast."

          Webair Hosting

          I use and recommend Webair for hosting.

              This is bad.

              I am suprised Apple are doing this, as I am sure the term podcast helps get sales of ipods.

                  This is an extremely bad move on Apple's part. I'm sure they will sooner rather than later drop the whole thing... its pure idiocy.

                                      i think this is the same as the RIAA/MPAA cases , where people get scared shitless when they get a legal notice in the mail from some big company , they give in without a fight

                                      all you need is a group to stand up to the civil suits , the courts will be in favour of the small player and tell apple to get fucked

                                          afterall , Apple only have rights to IPOD , not podcast , podcast has become such a generic term now , in the public domain ,

                                              and about 200 other premiere domains.. many of them "podcasting"

                                                  in other news.. Apple now owns the term "Pod People" and the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers because there lawyers find the concept just so endearing and hip.

                                                      Google: Results 1 - 10 of about 98,100,000 for podcast.
                                                      Looks like apple will have alot of c&d's to send...
