Never one to recognize a good joke, the Apple Trademark Department sent the below letter back stating that Apple does not license the use of the word “podcast”.  Apparently, everything now seems to be ok.

Den amerikanske podcaster Dave Gray sendte en check til Apples Steve Jobs som en slags afgift for at bruge ordet “pod”, men nu - halvanden måned efter - har han fået sine penge tilbage. Og endnu bedre - et løfte fra Apple om, at man ikke vil tage patent på “pod” eller forhindre andre i at bruge “pod” i sammenhæng med produktion af podcasts.

So, can all the nonsense please stop? The worst offender lately has been Leo Laporte with his “netcast” silliness, which besides being a worse term has the ultimate sin in such a thing - it’s already been used for various unrelated things for a decade. Even Leo can’t stick to it consistently, where he makes a big deal at the beginning of shows and by the middle has forgotten all about it and reverted back to “podcast.” As far as I’m concerned, the terminology stuff is put to bed once and for all.
