As processing capacity becomes ever more available, even that can be combatted. I recently converted a bunch of pod casts into an audiobook for personal use by stripping the variably-sized intro section with some perl that uses sox and pdl to search for a known sample, and then cuts off everything before and including that sample with ffmpeg.
It took maybe 3 minutes per intro section.
It might conceivably be possible to do this kind of thing in realtime in the future.
