After a few months of using SoundCloud I've noticed a regular amount of spam appearing it my inbox, SoundCloud users can make a track private then invite the whole of there followers or following list to listen. Anyone who receives the message sees a link and track listing from the sender. This suddenly means on SoundCloud you can import email addresses and contacts from Gmail, Hotmail, Myspace, and many more networking sites. For someone who has over 20,000 myspace friends this means you have the capability to email anyone who uses the same email for there SoundCloud.
The only downfall is you can only privately share a track to no-more than a 100 people if you are aren't a paying user, so you buy a membership send out the spam and then cancel your membership before the 14 day trial ends to claim your money back.
An obvious abuse of a site that is doing a lot for the industry but you have to take advantage before these loopholes close.
