Best fundraising scam ever... Wish we'd thought of it!
via NoAgenda Show Podcast License So I was listening to No Agenda #308 last night... Apparently one of their fanatical listeners went ahead and registered PodcastLicense.com , which thrilled co-hosts Curry (no relation) and Dvorak no end -- they immediately started riffing on how they could dupe stupid people into unknowingly supporting their show by handing out bogus podcasting licenses at $100 a pop. Sadly, the morning after I see that the domain merely redirects to their podcast site, a wasted opportunity if you ask me. A quick search reveals that PodcastLicence.ca is still available -- should we grab it?
