SSL just protects traffic between endpoints from random listeners in between. There are excellent FOSS implementations. The kind of encryption I don't like is the kind that tries to protect data processed by one of my devices from me. I wasn't trying to compare, I was trying to make the point that SSL-style encryption to protect the payload / auth info would be sufficient for streaming low quality audio no faster than real time. > > I'd bet they're just using a blanket license like radio stations have them, > Yes, the DMCA has explicit allowances for radio stations, > which can take requests, but they are restricted in what you > can do. If they use such a license, they likely don't have contracts with individual labels, nor must-DRM clauses on them. OTA radio isn't encrypted either. C.
