Protected content can now be downloaded/transferred?

I have my Mac setup to use kmttg to auto download shows to my computer. When I looked at the folder today, I noticed something odd......suddenly movies and shows from premium channels were downloaded.



This is included movies like Dallas Buyers Club on HBO, and Saving Mr. Banks on Starz.



I also notice that via the iPad app, the Download option is available for these.



Is this a mistake after the latest software update? Is it something set by local cable co?
