I disagree. Don't you need to validate their email address so you know you're reaching only people who wanted to sign up?

Or use something like OpenID or Passport (the identity provider might need to validate an e-mail address but you don't have to). Or build a site that needs no authentication to begin with -- e.g. a search engine.
