According to spotify's website, premium accounts are allowed to download songs. Why would they crack down on this more than other third-party clients?

The spotify premium download feature is more like an encrypted cache that's beneficial when offline or in slow networks.

It's not useful for acquiring files for your personal collection.

I guess because then people could redistribute it under their own terms. Which is pirating, and therefore illegal.
