Having worked for an entreporneur, I can tell you what the point would be. It's all well and good to get access to free email accounts, but, as has been said, that's more or less pointless.

What is useful, however, is signing up for free webspace. That's the holy grail of porn sites, an unlimited supply of website all pointing back to your main page. Good for search engine rank, dontcha know?

When I did some programming for a gentleman who served up porn sites, it was my task to give him a script that would go to Geocities, create an account, and then FTP up a small site with tons of links back to his main site. It would track the account name and password (randomly generated) and parse the URL of the site into a list, which he then used for...something.

Shortly thereafter (read: Next Day) Geocities put up a captcha for the signup. Related? Perhaps, perhaps not, but I do know that over multiple T1 connections, he created over 5,000 sites overnight on the 8 hours of running the script.

Something to think about.
