Please don't start new threads with nothing but a link to an article.
At least quote the article and give some sort of personal feedback besides a smilie. Quote:

Funny thing is after hearing that Apple was going over people using the term "Podcast" I actually thought it might be true.

While not going after the word "Podcast" itself, they do want "Pod."
And they're serious. They've sent out cease and desist letters to a few places, among them, Podcast Ready. Wired.Com Blog Post I also thought it was for real, and apparently it is. |

I'm sure I read somewhere a while back that some folks were trying to claim that Podcast stands for Personal On Demand Broad Cast to disassociate podcasts from solely being used on iPods.

I think it's as silly as General Mills claiming the word "bread" as their own.
Get off of it, Apple. |

Ast3r3x is on the right track, a while back some teenage boy made software, so he started a webiste ending in xxxsoft.com. The xxx part contained his surname (i put xxx because i cantremember his surname, it started with "m") however it sounded a lot like microsoft.com, so microsoft took him to court because of the similarity of the name used in the same industry. So yeah apple going to court over a similarity of "Pod" would not be a first.

Wow, all these posts and nobody's mentioned that it's from the onion, a satirical newspaper?
[edit] If I'm not being clear enough, it's a joke. |

Sure, the Onion had their take on it, but apparently it's a for-real thing.
I didn't know the backstory behind it that Ast3r3x mentioned, either. |
