A Washington, DC startup that recently posted an audio archive of years' worth of Howard Stern's interviews with Donald Trump, all before he was elected president, has been hit with a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice and a cease-and-desist letter.

On Wednesday afternoon, roughly 48 hours after it was put up, the audio trove has been removed from YouTube and SoundCloud. For now, the transcripts remain on Factba.se, a website created by the startup FactSquared.

Factba.se published a total of around 15 hours' worth of audio-exclusively of the minutes when Trump was on The Howard Stern Show-gathered from nearly 25 years of shows, starting in 1993 and ending in 2015.
