DRM/Copy protection. The most common way programs do this, is to send

use.
Some listen for broadcast traffic on a specific port, others may use
multicast.
If this is true, then won't Little Snitch stop this cold?
It might be able to, but I'm not going to encourage that if you don't
have the proper licenses for the software in question. :)
