Just curious, but I have an Internet Radio stream streaming pre-programmed
music via a French server.

There is a permanent listener from the USA, which turns out to be Amazon
Inc. 50.16.54.95


Why would they be doing this?




Cheers,


Gareth.

Odd you mention Amazon. I was listening to CD song snippets, and they generally last 29 seconds. However, maybe just for that day, the entire (CD) songs played!!

I think that is an amazon web services "cloud" machine, so it's not
actually someone at Amazon, but someone who is a customer of Amazon.

Maybe they're recording it all. Maybe they are scanning it for something
in particular. For all you know it could be the NSA.

I've had this stream running for over a couple of years now, and have just
recently moved to a new provider.

The previous provider was in the UK, and I had no permanently attached
listeners such as this.
The new provider actually asked whether I wanted to use the server in
France, or one in Canada, and I chose France as this was closer to home.
And now I have the Amazon leech permanently attached.


And yes, (the man rocks) as Admin for this streaming service, I get to see
the IP addresses of all those logged in and listening.
Which doesn't sit well with me, I must say.

But then this is how it is. You log on to something, and whoever controls
that is going to know your IP.
Use a Proxy Server if that bothers you.




Cheers,


Gareth.

Could we get a certain fan of mine to tune
in to your station, so we can get his IP
and put him out of business for good?

Can't you get the IP from the post header?

Not in this particular case. Dynamic IP.

You don't like free speech, do you? Even though, without the freedom
of Usenet, you would not be able to post anywhere on the net. But
nobody ever accused you of having a brain.

I thought you already had me. YOu had the NSA, the CIA, Interpol, even
U.N.C.L.E., and you were bringing me to an international tribunal. For
calling you a dumb**** (truth is the defense). You know who I am,
where I live, what sports teams I favor, and my political leanings. Or
so you pretended.

The funny thing is, I can tell you exactly where you know me from, and
you can acknowledge it, and you still can't figure it out. It just
goes in one ear, through four feet of basalt, and out the other ear.

Ah, OK, a little bit of digging on the IP address makes sense now.
The provider is developing their own streaming platform, which apparently is
going to put all the data in "containers" which can be moved very quickly
around the web (cloud) to maximise efficiency etc. rather than the old
fashioned way of streaming everything from a physical server in France for
example.
It looks like this listener is indeed their own "cloud machine".

Since I have an unlimited bandwidth package, I am not paying for this extra
listener, so don't care. Other packages are pay as you go or limited data,
and this might be an issue there, but they probably don't attach such
packages to the cloud at present.

I would guess this this them beta testing their system as they build it.

Gareth.
