Now, I don't think there's a way around preventing piracy, that is someone from taking your feed, changing the value block and npub to their own, and signing it and posting it on their server.
There's never been a way to prevent that, and I'm not sure signatures can, any more than they can stop either of us from signing a note that says "I rock" and claiming to be the original author. But signatures can definitely help with the problem of redundancy and ensuring the feed hasn't been tampered with.
