It sounds like Tomi has an ingress firewall in place, but is no egress
firewall.
Tomi, setup an egress firewall to only allow specific services
to the Internet (i.e., WWW). This won't block all Internet stations, but
it will help significantly.
Then, the next time your boss asks you to block a station, just run a tool
like iptraf to watch streams of traffic. Then, block the IP of the
offending station.
Also, this will eventually become a management issue. You can't block
every station on the Internet and the users will keep finding them. The
issues and consequences need to be addressed to all employees. Then, the
next time your boss hears a station being played, that user can get a
warning, etc.
