You can still access the player via direct URL, even when not logged into a ste. I have done it on a couple of people who have it installed here and on mine as well.

Example:
http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital...mp3playerpopup

By the way, in mp3player_admin.php, what is the purpose of this code at the very end?

I do believe that was the file that was getting tagged with virus scan as well.

Not too secure then...

The next post is worse. It has an iframe in the php file.

Yeah Im checking it out now...

555.net.cn/inde1.htm = 404 ERR

Guess I'll disable mine on this end until the coder comes back with some sort of excuse why, good snag glorify!

Thank you sir :)

The site is some Asian site.

Thanks...I read that but am still not convinced. Napster was free also. Public radio is free but the stations still pay a royalty for airing the songs I think.

Also, how about server load?

After posting that, I did some more research. It appears to me that it is not legal to broadcast music that is copyrighted without paying a royalty. I realize that they would likely not go after most of the small sites but who knows.

Here is a pretty good link that specifies this and also some info that could make it even worse in the future.

u made some valid points.

all i can really recommend is to not stream an entire album, don't create a profit-making website, and don't offer a large amount of streaming mp3's for your site.

after that, it would seem easier for them to first issue u a cease-and-desist order
