Sodcasting

Visible to anyone in the world

So there's a word for it. Courtesy of the Today Programme, BBC Radio 4 in the last few minutes (08.56)

People who deliberately play music without headphones as a form of bullying, saying 'sod off' to the world and an act of aggression.

Five or six years ago someone sat down opposite me doing this and I asked him to turn it down. If looks could kill ...

I moved down the train. He moved to a seat behind me.

I got off the train and moved to a different carriage. He followed again. This time I sat with my back to the wall. His pursuit ended when he reached his destination.

This weekend eight hours on the train I just got up and moved ... three times, to dodge leaky headphones, not even sodcasting.

You may say that the answer is for me to plug in too.
