I want to upload this to Current.com, and I own the rights to this file.

- Pod (short non-fiction video, usually 1-7 minutes long, that tells a story or profiles a character)

awesome new aspect. i'm so glad they're actually trying to do something with the torrent situation instead of hunting down and penalizing torrent users....
