With podcasting, pirating a feed has always been possible. Although that should be addressed, the problem I'm thinking about isn't pirating so much as it's redundancy. If you, me, and Spencer all had servers, I want to host yours and his feed as well as my own as a backup, and you guys do the same for me. I'm trying to think of a way that I can prove to your server that it's me that's actually requesting the feed update, and not someone else. Perhaps the way to do it isn't the signature in the feed, but I encode the whole feed, sign it, then send it to your server. I'm in your list of approved npubs, so you verify it's me, decode the feed and replace the old one.

I guess this still doesn't solve the problem of how to verify my feed hasn't been tampered with when being stored on someone else's server. You could very easily replace all my value addresses with your own prior to publishing, so I'd have to trust anyone I was using as a redundancy. Seems signing the whole feed is necessary as you were pointing out.
