  • TuneIn has lost a major court case in the UK. Brought by two large record companies, the ruling given was that TuneIn is unlawfully linking to international radio stations that do not have UK music licences. Under copyright law, music licences are required in each country where content is consumed. TuneIn is currently the default podcast service for Amazon Alexa smart speakers, and the default radio service for both Amazon and Google.

  • Apple TV+, the company’s new streaming service, has a show about a podcaster. Truth Be Told airs on December 6th. (via Benjamin Bellamy)
