Yes, their crown jules they don't want to give away. Universal Media group including labels like Deutsche Grammophon already only sell you watermarked crap when you buy a download. Soon MQA protects their High Bitrate music going out at full resolution even being of less bit resolution as standard CD when not decoded. I am one more time fascinated of the energy the music business puts in fooling the paying customer!
