Ummmmm, I'm going to call BS on that. If What RA was doing was illegal Apple would have shut it down ASAP - especially if it was with regard to using some undocumented features of the core OS that Apple wanted to protect. We're talking about streaming audio here - locally on your network (yes, there is the possibility of routing this across networks but if you're going through that much trouble you can implement a homegrown system much more reliably).
I find it interesting people go to bat for Apple when Apple screws over devs that makes a great product - and obviously are fans of Apple, and no, nothing RA was selling was illegal, that's just unfounded FUD. I've asked RA repeatedly to just build an interoperable product that has it's own streaming components that runs this way on Linux. At the time they said they had no plans - I really hope Apple pushes these guys over the edge to build products that can bridge the OS gap. Apple won't ever do anything along those lines.
