"Listener" from KDDI in Japan

thinktink · 18th June 2010, 00:26

Has anybody else seen long-time (8 hours +) connections from IP address 222.13.141.31? A whois query revealed that it's registered as from a corporation in Japan called KDDI. I visited their website and found a press release talking about a new subsidary called MediaFLO. I thought it might be more than coincidental so I'm asking here.

Long hours from Japan, yes. I never tracked it back to see who was really using it though. As long as they are not retransmitting our stream I'm fine with it and have had them connected for several days before. Then they go away and then then come back many days later. Not really sure what the deal is.

I suggest that you check their media type and not so much the IP address. Chances are if they are using (actually masking themselves) as outdated versions of popular media players they are sitting there ripping off your stream. They are however, moving quickly to mask their ripping software to appear as latest versions of legit media players...

Not much you can do with a 32k aac+ stream so I'm not so worried.
