Artificial intelligence is now being used to detect copyright violations in podcasts and videos, and even creators using royalty-free music are getting flagged incorrectly. Spotify and other platforms have implemented AI systems to protect artists from copyright infringement, but these systems sometimes fail to recognise when content creators have the proper licences and attributions. This creates frustrating situations where legitimate content is blocked or taken down, forcing creators to navigate complex appeals processes to restore their work.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ What royalty-free music actually means and how licensing requirements work
📌 How AI copyright detection systems on platforms like Spotify can incorrectly flag legitimate content
🔗 The specific attribution requirements needed for Creative Commons licences
🛡️ How to properly credit royalty-free music and images to avoid copyright strikes
✅ The appeals process for getting incorrectly flagged content reinstated on streaming platforms
📌 Why content platforms are implementing stricter AI-powered copyright enforcement

Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?
It's easy to react or respond quickly to messages and the like. It's better to do that mindfully. That's why I try to Practice The Pause.
You deleted the app, so your data is gone too, right? Not necessarily. When you sign up for a service and hand over your details, that information lives on the company’s servers, not just your phone. Even if you stop using the app, your data could still be sitting there years later, and if that company gets breached, your details could be exposed.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Why deleting an app doesn’t remove your data from the company’s servers
➡️ How to think about the information you hand over when signing up
⚡ Steps to log in and cleanse your account before deleting an app
✨ How to request data removal under Australian privacy principles
⭐ Why you should revoke app permissions before uninstalling
☑️ How to track down old accounts through your app store and emails
❗ Checking Sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook for linked accounts
Take the time to go through your phone and clean up properly. Deleting the app is only half the job.

The Redirection plugin is a plugin that handles redirects, branded affiliate links, and 404 monitoring on your WordPress website.
If you rename or delete a page, the plugin ensures that the old URL is redirected to the new one so visitors and search engines don’t hit a dead end, which is great for your SEO. Redirection also provides some stats on the links without needing to touch server files. Charly has been using it for years and walks through the full setup in this episode, from install to first redirect.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ What the Redirection plugin does and how Charly uses it
➡️ How to install and run through the setup wizard step by step
⚡ Setting up redirects for affiliate links and tracking click stats
⭐ How permalink monitoring automatically catches URL changes before they cause 404 errors
✨ Organising redirects into groups so you can find them later
☑️ Using the log and 404 monitor to see what’s happening on your site
