Impact of Copyright on Podcast Episodes
Hundreds of podcast episodes are being removed from Spotify due to copyright issues related to music used in the content. Originally, the podcast incorporated various music tracks, believing it would expose listeners to new artists and enhance the overall experience. As AI technology has advanced, platforms like Spotify have implemented stricter copyright scanning, leading to the removal of episodes that contain copyrighted material. The decision to infuse episodes with music, which was once seen as harmless in terms of exposure, has now resulted in significant challenges for maintaining the podcast's archive.
