This reminds me of a story. A couple years ago, some university friends and I went to an engineering competition in Ontario. It was an event spread over four or five days, and on the last night a dance was held. This information was given to the participants a couple of weeks in advance. The DJ for the dance had set up a website to allow people to request songs from off of a giant list. Each person got five or six "votes", and the system stopped them from voting any more after that. It was a cookie-based system. (It didn't bother with IP stuff). One of my friends ended up using the macro system on his Macbook to vote for the song he wanted until he ran out of votes, delete his cookies, refresh the page, and repeat. He ran this macro overnight for a couple of days. By the time we got to the competition, "Never Going to Give You Up" had three or four thousand votes. There were about two hundred people attending.
