why do streams ban streamripppers?

[quadomatic]

i was wondering why is it that some streams dont allow streamripper/stream ripping and why do they ban people who use it on their stream?

Do you remember what "leeching" is, right?

In some countries you are within your legal right to rip streams, not that I agree with it but I found that while listening to NovaStream Radio streamripping is good for archiving moments of great hilarity.
