The only reason you get connections is because the businesses don't lock
down their networks properly.


With some Internet radio stations closing down becuase
of higher royalty rates, I am seeing more traffic to my
station now. A partial deal was struck that will not
silence as many webcasters, but enough of them
to drive traffic to other sites. Beginning on Monday
July 16th, I have seen a large jump in the number
of corporate networks visiting my site and my radio
station.

I do believe that is why I saw up to 10 streams
being served at once to an open proxy in Saudi
Arabia. The webcasters that will be able to stay
in the air are buying bandwidth from larger
"aggregators" and coming under the "umbrella" of
their licence, and Live 365 does offer such accounts.
Becuase Live 365 will be blocked where the
independent webcaster, who uses his own server,
will not, people have to do things like use proxies,
to get to Live 365 stations.

I have do doubt those are people on corporate
networks in America, given that these streams
are being served during the workday in America,
and that I am picking up some listeners looking
for new stations after the close of some of the
smaller independent webcasters, and many of
those are on corporate networks in America.
I am beginning to see a large increase in listenership
from open proxies, anonymity services, and many
direct connections from corporate networks all
over the place.

It appears that a couple of 80s stations have been
silenced, and people are coming to my off-hours
music programming (when not broadcasting
sports or talk programming), as an alternative,
since I do play a lot of 80s music. With users
using every possible workaround to listen to me,
someone could well be listening on your office
network right now, and you will not know what
they are up to.

Even a lot of foreign broadcasters using U.S.
streaming providers to avoid regulations on
Net radio in their own home countries. The
U.S. is one of few countries that have not yet
enacted content and/or decency regulations on
Internet radio, which is why my station, out of
Australia, uses an American provider. And
many foreign broadcasters take advantage of
this.
