Summary
Discussing SquadCast's patent, Dave reads it as a broad land grab in a crowded market. If what's patented is essentially an algorithm, the holder can't tell whether a competitor infringes without suing to get discovery.
Not in the audio. 'clean feed' = Cleanfeed, the remote-recording service.
