Introduction
Podcasts are relatively new but
have eventually grown a lot of popularity amongst the audiences
these days. Especially at such times of COVID-19, while everybody
is stuck at home, podcasts come into the picture even more than
before. There is a podcast for almost anything these days. Talk
about law, sports, fashion, music, makeup, or any other thing. You
name it, and you have a podcast for that. However, the increase in
the number of podcasts increases the associated legal issues with
creating, hosting, or producing a podcast.
The notable issues that can arise
with regard to a podcast are when someone uses third-party
information in their podcasts. This may include using a name,
phrase, logo that is already in use, or even using someone
else's words or phrases without seeking their permission or
giving them the credits. The main legal hurdles that come in
the way of podcasts are copyright, trademark, and
publicity rights.
