At the very least, someone will have the bright idea of collecting names & addresses of people not connected online, and creating their "votes." How do you propose this will be prevented?

How do you propose to coordinate the hacking of 100 thousand Google accounts of users which you know are not online for the period of 1 year and then make it look like they all enjoy your fake piece of music to try and get your artist paid through the subsidies. And how do you propose not getting caught when any of these 100'000 users may at any time decide to log-onto their account and can immediately see that there has been some illicit activity going on which they can then instantly report. And how do you propose that the spammed artist in this case not be instantly pointed out as being part of an attempt at gaming the system.
