RightsRadar

RightsRadar is a web app (with a lightweight desktop uploader) that scans podcast audio for copyrighted music, TV/radio clips, and risky third-party inserts before publishing. You upload a rough cut, and it returns a “risk report” with timecodes, confidence levels, and practical alternatives (e.g., swap to a licensed track, re-record a line, or shorten a clip). It also generates a simple clearance checklist and stores proof-of-license files per episode so you’re not scrambling when a host platform flags you. This is an AI + traditional app: AI handles fingerprinting and similarity detection, while the product workflow focuses on documentation, team approvals, and exportable compliance reports. It’s not glamorous, but it targets a real operational headache for growing shows and networks that can’t afford strikes, demonetization, or forced edits after release.
