Part of the allegations brought by the Church against Dehlin includes claims that his use of copyrighted photographs and other materials creates confusion that the Church endorses his podcast.
According to the lawsuit, the church made a list of demands, including the addition of a disclaimer to the top of “Mormon Stories Podcast” explicitly stating that the show has no relationship with the LDS Church.
Dehlin, for his part, is fighting back.
He says that any reasonable person can clearly see that his podcast isn’t affiliated with the church.
