If the DRM is done with some kind of watermark technology there is a small chance that it would survive intact through this process. It's not likely, but it is possible.
Has anyone tried ripping to MP3 to see how it sounds? I doubt it will sound terrible, but it could. They could muck with the AAC slightly to make it deliberately recode the AIFF in a way that messes up MP3. Still these are hard problems, I doubt they've actually done it.
I have an idea on how to defeat this, let me know how it would fail...
If you had a piece of software behind the NAT, software very much like a NAT but not exactly, that aggregated traffic and forwarded all of it to the real NAT as a single host wouldn't you lose the clues that they are using to detect the real NAT?
