Possibility of abuse is emmense!

OK, these guys are small time stock manipulators and will be gone soon. But consider how effective their scam could be. Considering that their system is admittedly automatic, simply feed any old email address list into one end, names of random songs into the other and start billing random people. Treat it as any spam system. If only 1 percent of the suckers pay, you only have to send out enough cheaply generated bills to make a lot of money. There are several outfits doing this with old uncollectable bills from record and book companies dating back decades. They just keep calling suckers day after day demanding payment and some of them actually pay. To avoid crashing their scheme they never actually take anybody to court. A combination of email and telephone harassment could make a con man rich with this scheme.

Better yet instead of titles of songs, say you have been downloading porn and unless you pay up we will turn you over to the police.
