My podcast makes $0. It's not likely to make any significant money either, since it's on an extraordinarily niche subject -- one of the beauties of the medium is that people can make amateur content about subjects they care about for almost no money. Many podcasts out there make $0, and that's just fine.
A couple of issues I understand (not a lawyer) about the patent: - My understanding is that the original patent was for recording magazines on tape and sending them to customers. The updated version looks like an attempt to rewrite the patent to cover modern technology.
- It's obvious: given a global network of computers, anyone who couldn't imagine that said global network could be used for disseminating media is either completely out of the loop or an idiot.
