Was he merely silent about the issue, or did he say "I own the copyright, go ahead and host it
The person who uploaded the audio program, received permission to do so, from the copyright owner. That however isn't sufficient for wikilawyers who insist that the audio must be obtainable from an official website directly tied to the original program and that any transcript must come directly from the original copyright holder, etc etc etc. Certified, stamped, signed, and laminated.
Can you point me to some discussion about this? The link to the Arbcom decision doesn't seem to discuss this point much at all. The link to the Wikipedia:COPYRIGHT policy doesn't seem to apply, since it says that you shouldn't link to an external site with a copy of a work if you *know* that it's violating copyright (i.e. the default is to assume that the link is okay and you need a specific reason to exclude it.)

Gosh I think it was a few *years* ago that it was pointed out on the Talk page of the Matt Sanchez article, that the audio snippet of the Alan Colmes radio program had been uploaded with permission. In fact that clip still exists online, I just ran into it the other day yet again.
But Ken I stopped following the back-and-forth on Matt Sanchez from the time it degenerated into "Theatre of the Ridiculous". The audio snippet (I think its about six minutes or so) is linked however from my own write-up which I linked in my past mesage.
