Its also a system that's fairly unobtrusive to the reader.

Sadly, I could imagine this could be maliciously changed to point the finger at someone else.
I had a friend in college tell me when he was a bored teenager in a small town, he'd steal the magazine postcard inserts from the local store's magazine rack and sign up his "enemies" for magazine subscriptions. I actually had that done to me (I suspect by neighbors I'd called the cops on) in the last few years.
Imagine today's digitally savvy teens...I could imagine them uploading a few hundred books with their "hated neighbor's" name in them!
