Someone Is Hijacking My Stream

Christians are hijacking my stream as accessed via the shoutcast.com page's popup player. It only happens in that popup player, not when I access the stream by other means. Restarting my server kicks them for about 15 minutes but they return... they also leave sometimes.

I have tried on many browsers (Opera, IE, FF), and a friend tried with Chrome and my server provider's helpdesk also witnessed this hack.

What is intriguing is that the hackers are Christians. It is a bible reading that is aptly called "Torment Forever". If you try at the right time you may be able to confirm this http://www.shoutcast.com/Internet-Radio/replayscape.com (only happens on the 96kbps stream, not the other bitrate streams).

EDIT: I tried searching on shoutcast.com for an mp3 titled "Torment Forever" to see if it is a standalone stream but there are no signs of it. I also unsuccesfully searched for a stream called "Bible Study" because that is the name of the stream in the popup player. Stream name and "Now Playing" are correct in the yp but not in the hijacked pop-up player.
