That is certainly what the NSA seems to be claiming, and coincidentally it is the most convenient interpretation for them. But it seems highly bogus to me. Has the RIAA ever worried about whether downloaders actually listened to the contents of EnterSandman.rar?
More worrying, the NSA could abuse this by listening to whatever they liked, then getting information by other means, then lying about listening. And we certainly already know that the NSA is capable of lying and willing to do so.
