How Does AI Copyright Detection Affect Royalty-Free Music? (2025/645)

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

How Do You Run A Facebook Privacy Audit? (2026/666)

✅ Why privacy settings need regular review, not just a one-time setup
📌 How to access Facebook's Privacy Checkup and what each section controls
🛡️ Key settings to lock down including email visibility, friends list access and ad preferences
🔗 How to review your activity log and connected apps for suspicious access

Will Another App Really Fix Your Workflow? (2026/665)

When things start slipping through the cracks, it is tempting to search for a new app to solve the problem. Software companies are brilliant at showing you the polished outcome, but they rarely show the setup time, learning curve, and ongoing maintenance required to get there. In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why downloading an app feels like progress but often is not
📌 The hidden costs of tool sprawl including subscriptions, integration headaches, and mental load
🔗 How to check if your existing tools already have the feature you need
🛡️ The one-to-one job principle for deciding whether a new tool is truly necessary

Before adding another app, pause and check if the solution is already in your toolkit.
