Stream 'theft'
I've been running a Police feed for several months via RR and I use ScannerCast RR Edition V0.13.
Today a work colleague said he could listen to the local police on his mobile phone. I had a listen and thought it 'sounded' like my feed. I proved this by switching my scanner off for a few minutes and sure enough the stream coming from the mobile phone stopped! I am absolutely positive it was my stream because you could hear the beeps my Uniden scanner emits when switched on or off.
I then searched Google for my feed using keywords that related to the name I call it - again, I found my feed coming via another website.
How does this occur? Does RR share the feeds from its members? Or, is there a more sinister reason for this 'feed theft'?
Hope someone can answer this.

Re: Stream 'theft'
Don't you think the RR Forums would be the more appropriate place to ask the question.

Re: Stream 'theft'
Thanks guys, seems data sharing must the accepted norm.
I would have thought that I'd be asked for permission by RR first. It's probably hidden in their T&C's somehere.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to make money from my stream.....

Re: Stream 'theft'
It's probably another way RR are making money to host the streams etc "borowing" or giving rights for the streams to third party apps.
Maybe you can have a voice recording some subliminal message go over the top of the stream scannersplitterguy haha

Stream 'theft'
As u can see - this is a screen shot from my iPad which is streaming radio stations.
Used mainly to listen to some radio stations when I am away from home, but after a quick search - it also streams some emergency services.
(not promoting the app or service - just advising those as this is topic relevant)

Re: Stream 'theft'
Hi orangepeel, those stations and aps are exactly the same as I get on my Logitech Squeezebox.
Shane, yes I like the idea of running a voice message at regular intervals on my stream.
LOL - "We interupt this stream to advise our listeners of where donations can be made to keep the stream going".
$$$$$

Re: Stream 'theft'
I guess when you host it to someone elses servers its not exactly yours anymore, with RR it is free to upload to their server but they obviously sell/rent their feeds to 3rd party applications to make money to run their servers/website etc.

Re: Stream 'theft'
Ok, now I understand where you're coming from, rredbeak.
I thought you were telling me off for considering 'çharging' listeners of my stream.
Like I said, its probably in the RR T&C's, so I can live with that.
