You're right that you can capture a stream, but you can capture *any other* legitimate steam (internet radio station) as well.
The average person is not going to bother doing either. The whole iTunes system is about compromises, not about making some ultra secure unpenetrable tightly DRM locked system.
The iTunes system is for the average person. The average person is NOT going to:
- log in to a kiddy site like Spymac (or any other site keeping a database of iTunes IPs)
- capture any sort of stream from somebody while they are online
all while
- hoping the person has the bandwidth to support a clean stream rip.
On another topic, somebody asked why the radio stations were asked to pay royalities w. their streaming. Weren't they making money indirectly from their streaming?
