Yes exactly. And likewise with trying to avoid DRM via some sort of loopback device that is now lossless too.

I can't information theoretically argue for this. But I can algebraically argue lossless conversion rather than storage is great, and this seems great for the war against bad IP legal regimes.

Too bad they are probably only doing this because they feel that with streaming's dominance, the IP regime is not at risk.
