That is still very different. A griefer is generally known as such and won't have payment info on file, much less land that they can set the media url of. I suppose they could have a parcel hired somewhere, but almost all parcels are invite-only: I only enter parcels of friends that invited me.
If some random griefer wanted my IP# by having me connect to their audio url, they'd have a hard time. I'm sure it would become a very serious security problem when griefers can grab the IP# from every noob the see in the distance, just by wearing some attachment that gets people to connect to your url.
