In fact, even 320K is ass-shit-fuck quality to anyone that knows audio because you're still discarding information in order to compress audio. Real niggas demand original-source FLAC or WAV
If your music is in a digital format that can't be ripped from the source or recorded with software on the fly while it is playing, I can still bootleg a worthwhile copy of it by placing a recording device within range of the speakers. The higher quality the source and speaker system, the better my recording will turn out.

You can aim a video camera at a monitor or TV. The audio will be crappy, but we don't care because it is porn. The video will be crappy, which we do care about because it is porn.

Ripping crappy audio from a YouTube video is really not relevant.

What needs to be embedded? You launch an app/player that simultaneously renders keyboards inoperable with the exception of the ESC button that shuts the app/player off, while you use a mouse cursor or your finger to manipulate the video player controls and shut the app/player off. The app shuts down if there is any outbound signal projection attempt. The app shuts down if recording software is in operation. The app gets updates regarding the latest software recorders.

So they download a similar app to a phone or tablet, neither of which are capable of running any CPU intense on the fly recording software or exporting audio/video signals to another device at the moment anyway.
