Legalities

Podcasting Legal Guide

Put together by the folks from:

Stanford Center for Internet And Society
The Berkman Center, Harvard
Creative Commons

This guide  provides a general overview of legalities – but does not provide legal advice – that is specific to podcasting.  The guide also suggests reading the EFF’s Legal Guide for Bloggers for additional, more general information.

Main thing to remember

Secure all necessary rights and permissions for the material included in your podcasts.  Why? You may get into legal trouble for incorporating third party material into your podcast and for also authorizing others to use that material as part of your podcast.

The Drill Down’s royalty-free theme music was selected from PodSafe Audio.
