They only find out your IP address after it's too late.
- Your computer asks a DNS resolver where the server is.
- The DNS resolver asks Apple's (well, Akami's) DNS server where the server is.
- The DNS server guesses the closest server, but all it has available to work with is the address of the resolver.
- Your computer uses that answer to contact the server and download whatever. If it was given the wrong server, it's too late now.
