Hmmm. The thought of "soundspam", or should I say, more "soundspam" is not encouraging. I think you work a little encryption magic, and life could get a little more interesting. . . combined with existing and emerging technologies, we may be sharing our thoughts before we're ready to, lol.
You are right... it didn't occur to me how prone this technology is to spam. Users would be constantly bombarded with commercial messages. Some sort of spam filtering technique would definitely be required.
