Is PodShow Hijacking

PodShow_logo_120.jpgSome podcasters are "pissed" at PodShow, a podcast portal founded by podcasting pioneer Adam Curry. The site appears to be republishing podcaster's podcast feeds, with changes, under PodShow URLs. "What was Podshow thinking?" asks Geek News Central's Todd Cochrane. "Podshow has hijacked every listed podcasters RSS Feed, stripped out data and inserted their own info." The republishing of podcast feeds under different URLs has raised controversy in the past because it can infringe on podcaster's copyrights, confuse listeners about the correct source for the podcast and make it impossible for podcasters to know how many people are subscribing to their podcast.
