So the question is why did Apple go down this road. Is it so that when the iPodcast trademark is issued that the can go after the guy that owns the iPodcast website. Probably will be worth a few dollars to him. Or will it be a way for them to go after anyone that has a website with the word podcast in it. Typical lawyer BS it was it is and what it will end up to be. So because I an My are close will the go after mypodcast.com and say they are infringing as well.
By the way Apple when are you all going to fix the issues your having with your podcast directory. [Engadget]

This one may not be as bad as you think. A couple of days ago I saw a mention of this ( I can’t remember where now) that this might be a name for a new component in iLife. Garageband is really designed for music not podcasting. Although not terribly original, I think this would be a perfectly valid name for Apple to use for such an app. I don’t see apple using this trademark to corner the podcast name. I hope anyway.
Thats because they advertise using Quicktime to record podcasts. Little do they realize i think that anyone using a mac to record podcasts is using Garageband.
