Spotify has REMOVED its block on our episodes, as of today.

Evidently, Spotify has finally realized that using NON-copyright music is NOT a violation of copyright.

16/04/2026

SPOTIFY has blocked 61 episodes of our show (maybe more), because of alleged copyright violation, based on the fact that they contain the music of Kevin McLeod, whose music is NOT copyrighted. He specifically creates NON-copyright music for non-commercial podcasts and audio projects. We did not learn of this block until it was too late to submit a challenge. In addition, it appears that nearly every other podcast listening platform, including Apple, has followed this Spotify block, in lockstep. Many hours of work, down the drain, apparently because a bot at Spotify decided that using the NON-copyright music of Kevin McLeod is somehow a copyright violation.
