This is very true! However, the color map of the audio track's clipping (that you posted above) is lit up like a christmas tree. That doesn't happen to a properly mastered song unless gain has been added during the re-encoding process.

In fact there is no need for the person to boost the volume to get this same result. Lossy encoding alone can cause clipping with some samples, see previous link to hydrogen audio wiki:
Quote:Lossy audio encoding and decoding can cause the highest/lowest sample values to go over the allowed limit (in practice having the sequential max/min values), which may lead to clipping seen by analysis tools, or even audible clipping. But whether the clipping is truly audible or not is a totally different thing. There are different methods to avoid clipping in lossy audio. Look at the specific audio format answers how to best avoid clipping in each case.
