well like, usually for legal copies, there's a tiny bit of changed date that can be searched for to detect if it's real or not

You can clearly tell the difference between an .mp3 that has a DRM encryption (iTunes) and one that does not (legally ripped from a CD or illegally downloaded).

The ripping from a CD is the wildcard.  You can rip with no DRM and have it be perfectly legal.
