Kicking the Stream
O.K. I still don't understand the basic premise behind kicking the stream. It sounds cool! I see how having access to shoutcast server and getting statistical info on listeners is useful. I guess you could kick a listener or perhaps ban an I.P. But kick someone who is actively streaming? Why wouldn't they relinquish the stream voluntarily. Are we talking about a hacker? In the webcast academy we talked about a streamer that has a system that is taxed and can't maintain the stream etc... but even then, this is a live webcast. "dead" air isn't such a big deal. I guess I just want to make sure it's authentic. I can jump through hoops as good as anyone else. I just need to know the justification.
