    Adam Carolla Discusses the Patent Lawsuit with Marc Maron

    In episode 476 of the WTF Podcast, Marc Maron interviews Adam Carolla about the latest in the patent troll lawsuit concerning podcasting. I clipped the segment out of the podcast.

    Be warned, if you've never listened to the WTF Podcast, there is adult language.

    It's an interesting discussion. I wonder if Carolla has approached John Lee Dumas about supporting the defense. Dumas has a vested interested in the outcome.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.

    Some interesting background here: http://anewdomain.net/2013/01/23/who...lla-deep-dive/

    Seems the gentleman behind the action was done for insider trading around 2004.

    Here's another interesting segment that I snipped from the No Agenda Show Episode 598. Adam Curry has an interesting perspective on the entire thing. Without investigating further, I have to wonder if this entire thing hasn't been completely blown out of proportion much like what he's saying. Warning: Adult language

    First of all, how is it that Adam Carolla wasn't advised to purchase intellectual property insurance, including patent infringement protection(covering a patent infringement complaint against him or his company)? That’s like independent broadcasting 101 stuff.

    Oh and if it were me, I would have tried to get coverage by a company who offers technology errors and omissions insurance as part of the package, especially if you’re charging for a premium podcast or accepting advertising. This type of coverage should be sufficient for even the most frivolous are seemingly unrelated lawsuits.

    I have no idea where this case will lead, but the fact that a guy in his position didn't cover his ass is ludicrous. This has to be a publicity stunt...at least in part. Just my two cents as a small business owner.

    Let me know if you think I’m off base here...

    Wow spencer thats such a good point. So do you think the fund raising he is doing for his legal fun is a big publicity stunt?

    I wonder how many podcasters/Internet broadcasters actually carry this type of insurance (I'm presuming, of course, that you or Andew do since you brought it up). I would suspect that a lot of podcasters don't, even those that I would consider large such as Adam and John of No Agenda. I wonder if someone like John Dumas carries such insurance?

    <sarcasm>When I'm rolling in the millions from my broadcasting endeavors, I'll be sure to have this type of protection in place as well.</sarcasm>

    Seriously, though, good points, Spencer. I've never thought of Internet broadcasters possibly needing insurance of this type.

    If you are incorporated its a good idea to be insured.. I do not know of any company that doesn't have some sort of insurance to protect them.
