PodShow Updates Site to Eliminate Podcast Hijacking; It Was a Silly Mistake, Says Adam

Adam_Curry_Second_Coming.jpgPodShow, which has come under heated criticism because the updated PodShow site hijacked podcasters feeds, has quickly updated their site to fix the problem. Instead of linking to podcasters' original podcast feeds, PodShow was rewriting feeds, removing podcasters' copyright notices and republishing them under PodShow URLs. PodShow was quick to respond to the firestorm that erupted in response to the controversy. Yesterday, PodShow's Adam Curry, right, noted that the company needed to fix some problems with the new version of the PodShow site, including the feed links. PodShow's feed links have been updated to point to podcasters' original podcast feeds. "All xml icons on PodShow+ should now be hyperlinked to the original feed url.," said Curry in response to the controversy. "This also resolves the copyright re-writing issues."
