In 2015, Haran and the podcast were credited with reappropriating the word "[[freebooting]]" to describe copyright infringement via re-hosting videos on platforms such as [[Facebook]], a practice typically undertaken to profit from advertisements alongside the content. Facebook has since adopted tools to address this.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Oremus|first1=Will|title=Facebook’s Piracy Problem|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2015/07/freebooting_stolen_youtube_videos_going_viral_on_facebook.html|website=Slate|accessdate=22 May 2016|date=8 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Foxx|first1=Chris|title=Facebook announces new tools to tackle video theft|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34106475|website=BBC News|accessdate=22 May 2016|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Perlberg|first1=Steven|title=Facebook Launches Tool to Combat Video ‘Freebooting’|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-launches-tool-to-combat-video-freebooting-1460492932|website=Wall Street Journal|date=12 April 2016}}</ref>
