I have an historical podcast about San Francisco, wherein I do the research, the writing, the recording, and the editing, including adding background music and sound effects. I have someone who wants to invest to grow the podcast, which is great.

He called me yesterday and asked me what if someone decided to appropriate a recorded episode and, for example, make a youtube video using the audio. I told him that was unlikely. I told him California has automatic copyright going to creators. That's not enough for him. He was a hard-nose businessman and wants me to find out if there are ways to protect the IP.

I thought would ask for insights here. I thank you in advance.
