In this segment, Rob Greenlee explains why music is rarely incorporated into podcasts: copyright holders object because downloadable podcast files can be ripped to extract the music, facilitating unauthorized distribution.

If podcasting converted to streaming for all its delivery, we could have copyrighted music potentially in our, in our shows. So, you know, there's advantages here that we haven't really fully thought about.
