What about Silent Bob? (Score 2, Interesting)

The thing I don't get about any of this DRM stuff is what makes the artist/record company think people won't use something like Silent Bob (or any other streaming audio recorder) to workaround their protections?

The audio quality is not as good as in the original file but then you can take the WAV file created by Bob and convert that to whatever format you like (MP3, OGG, etc...). This is definitely not legal and the artist loses out on the payment. I wonder if anyone bothers to tell the artists that this huge hole exists in the supposedly "secure" Weed technology.
