There are far, far easier ways of getting pirated music if that's your goal.
I strongly doubt this will significantly affect the level of piracy in music; instead it's a really interesting application of a pair of interesting things, PANDA and the difference in 'randomness' between encrypted and unencrypted streams.
I wonder if we'll start to see more crypto methods that deliberately avoid looking like encrypted data to make this sort of attack harder. ISTR agl's pond did something like this, but I could be imaging it, and I've not seen it widely implemented.
