I'm not sure if I've bought into the Podcasting idea yet. I listen to "This week in Tech".... I don't have it set to auto download though.

I wonder if the content providers have to sign any paperwork or make any sort of legal agreements with Apple not to air music they don't have the right to. Because a LOT of podcasts out there use unlicensed music. However, I'm sure Apple is on top of this, and will only include the ones that are totally legit.

Any rumblings on whether they built in BitTorrent support for the podcasts that require it?
