If he's smart, he did use a proxie. And if the web developer's smart, he'll implement something that checks the IP addresses of people visiting his website against a list of currently known proxie servers. I'd recommend dnsbl.org or something along those lines. That way most of the problem is mitigated before it has a chance to impact the website. Then, if it gets through anyway, it's likely not a proxie in use and you can inform the appropriate service owner.
