CCP doesn't lose a dime when players use in game currency to buy game time, simply because for that game time to exist in the game economy, another player had to purchase it from CCP. That player then sold it to someone with more game currency. In fact, buying time cards that way is more expensive in real world dollars than paying for a subscription, so CCP is making more money this way.

If a group of people heard it could be considered a public performance, something not permitted by most licenses to music that we purchase.

Exactly, it sounds as if the mitm attack wasn't based on hijacking a broadcast, but on redirecting data/voice/sms/etc. from a cracked device to a network of the attacker's choosing. The redirection wasn't based on fooling the phone into connecting , it was based on explicitly changing the network the phone connected to.

A very interesting attack, but not interesting in the sense that cdma/wimax (perhaps LTE too?) is unsafe but in the sense that there are serious vulnerabilities in the network stack for android.

Do you mean specific versions of browsers? That would be interesting to see, especially FF.
