So, how exactly would insurance protect someone in the podcast industry? Well, some believe they are protected through their Commercial General Liability policy. However, the baseline standard for CGL policies actually excludes media or internet business. In this case, the broadcasting company would need a form of Media Liability Protection. This could provide protection from defamation, damaged reputation, plagiarism and even cases of copyright infringement. Additionally, it could also protect against emotional distress of the party in question and accusations of unfair competition.
