Unfortunately, not just anyone can re-encode or convert audio files, because most people don't know how. Were Shannon to distribute on FLAC, many customers would be requesting assistance or refunds because the files came in a format they can't use natively.
My ex-girlfriend, for instance, would probably love some of these subliminals (but resist using them if I suggested it), but wouldn't know what to do with a FLAC file because she can't just import it into iTunes and go on her merry way.
I *LOVE* FLAC files for encoding music for my devices, but I wouldn't give one to my mom.
