He is not helping things any

So you can stream audio from other devices. Big deal. Is it worth the potential consequences??

All he is doing is giving the music and movie industry the excuse they need to use ever more draconian copyright protections and one more club to use in the attempt to strip fair use rights away from consumers.

The lot of you can go ahead and bow at his feet and sing his praises for doing this if you want, but remember it on the day you don't have fair use rights anymore, or you have to do a Microsoft style activation on a music CD just to play it on the single device you have been issued a license to use.

D*ckhead is actually too kindly a term for him.
