Myspace gets it right :)

I'm wondering how wwwoffle deals with streaming media, say, mp3 audio streams. 
I like to know how to do streaming 'right', from a site admins point of view, that is, to 
make it more difficult to download streams locally. And there's also the aspect of avoiding 
to pile up too much crap in the cache. 

That said.

I stumbled over the incredible 'Mad Max and the Wild Ones',
<http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=97871906>
and then wondered why the mp3 would not appear in the lasttime index ?
ok, i know, that would be too easy. But how does it work ?


[Additional information]

The request is apparently sent by the flash player. 
Does that mean it circumvents the browser completely ?

The http header exchange was,

p.s. If you survive the first song, try Folsom Prison Blues.
