I figured out WHY they can get to my site, but not to my radio
station. Its the way that Live 365 serves its streams, that makes
the phpProxy installations think that you are downloading a big
file. I tested this by loading the URL you would use for a direct
link into one of these, and it spat back that I was trying to
download a file over the download limit.
To cut down on bandwidth costs, and royalty costs, Live 365
implements this where the stream will stop after a certain
amount of time, depending on the bitrate. For a 32K stream,
this is exactly 8 hours.
There are undoubtedly a lot of people trying to connect, becuase
of the sheer volume of traffic to my web site I get from public
phpProxy proxy servers during the workday in America.
Even though I run an Australian online radio station,
extraterritorial provisions of the DMCA require me to follow
U.S. laws, which is why I use a Live 365 royalties-included
package to take care of U.S. royalty obligations. Unlike
other countries, that make it where the main studios are,
American laws make it "where the listening takes place".
It is becuase of this I cannot offer music on any of my
other feeds that I use for talk and sports programming.
When I am running my talk shows on the other feeds,
however, I do see a LOT of people tunining into those
from phpProxy sites all over the world. phoProxy
obfuscates the URL that shows up in the logs, so that
the boss won't be able to figure out where you went,
and is forced to find ANOTHER reason to fire you.
