These services should also provide "disavow" links so that I can disassociate my email address from the account, similar to one-click unsubscribe links.

One client I was building a paywall book site for told me specifically NOT to require email confirmation. And their IT ppl actually asked me "isn't there a way to just check if the email is real?"

But also, there's "someone gets to read books for free" and there's "someone has all your money and all your data." Some businesses do without confirmation because the benefits (to them) outweigh the drawbacks. Some... very much shouldn't.

I have a 6-char http://gmail.com address and get reverse-spoofed all the time too. Most egregious was

A woman added my email address as her recovery address for her email account multiple times. I finally emailed her to tell her to stop or I would pwn her account

I usually can't email people who've used my email address because I don't know what their REAL email address it. I've gotten emails for Keith Rays in distant locations in the USA, England, and Australia.

I feel this plea so much. I can't link my Gmail address to PayPal, because someone beat me to it.
