could you get a small USB device (Rasberry Pi?) and set it up to show as a USB storage device and randomly generate file names while it's plugged in? That would flood their servers with dummy data :)

It would be easier just to write a script that makes repeated requests and running that since it's just HTTP anyway
Perhaps the upper post imagines reverse engineering the HTTP API is too difficult. I'm sure his suggestion was the same in spirit/principle.
And I'm sure that you'll get a nice letter in the mail accusing you of breaking some sort of law that attempts to protect them from such shenanigans.
It would be far easier to set that Pi up as an XMBC instance with RaspBMC and treat the TV as a dumb output device.
