"Today it’s easy to record streamed music from the analog headphone jack on the phone, and even to convert the stream back to digital and transmit it in real time to someone else."

Is this really that common nowadays?

Personally I think the move is more of a way of selling Apple/Beats headphones than any DRM/Anti-piracy stuff.

Pirating anything is not statistically common. Loss figures have always been completely fictitious and DRM has always been a hammer in search of a nail.
