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.

The point Ken is, everyone familiar with this case, knows what the 
evidence plainly states.  It's simply a case of trying to excise all 
the evidence IDONTLIKEIT so that the original underlying controversy is 
obscured.

Now people going to our article on Matt Sanchez, can plainly see that 
it's controversial for... something.  They can't see quite what or why. 
  However the self-defeating situation is that all you have to do is 
google for Matt Sanchez and you can read for hours all the controversy, 
which comes up on the first page!  And yet our article says nothing on 
it whatsoever.

Utterly... pointless.
