In my experience (10+ years) of shoutcast development and streaming, I have done countless audits of stations where log's were available to me (Mostly AOL hosted , but a few not).
I can say this with nearly 100 percent accuracy: Stream Ripping comprises less than .1 percent of the total aggregate listener base.

LOL... Thanks I needed a good laugh. I have only been broadcasting for about 4 years. In that time I have had to block close to 3000 IP addresses/ranges due to abuse discovered by my logs.
If you are just worried about stream rippers yeah.... I don't think I have had more than one or two in the 4 years of broadcasting. Stream rippers aren't the problem when you run a small station as I have mentioned before. People will do all kinds of crap to small stations like signing in with several players to fill up all the slots so no one can connect ... or flood connecting (connecting over and over hundreds of times for 0 or 1 second) and many other stupid acts.
If you have been broadcasting for 10 years you would know this... unless you pay for a server that has many slots and no logs. OOPS busted!!! ... go back to the bridge you crawled out from under troll!!
since this is no longer a help thread ... anyone that decides to answer incompetently with bullshit answers and foolish subterfuge deserves to be treated like the nescient imbeciles they are.
Let me dumb that down for you guys since no one here seems to have any intelligence or common sense.... don't bother to post stupid answers or lies or I will treat you like the morons you are!!
I can say what I want here now because the only ones that are going to be posting here are people who want to flame me because they are too stupid to understand what this post was originally about.
Anyway... in another post... nullsoft did admit that their flash player has a problem with its reconnecting every 10 minutes and they are going to fix it so I guess this is all irrelevant anyway
Actually .. you know what ... I'm done with this thread completely. It's obvious that no one here has the knowledge to write the script I'm looking for so instead of this aggravation, I will just learn how to write it myself. I may not even need it too much longer since Nullsoft is fixing the player.
