How does Spotify deal with fraud? What prevents me from just putting my own song on repeat and cash in/manipulate the charts?

Towards the bottom of the article: "Each track will have to be played for 30 seconds before it counts as one stream. To avoid fans "gaming" the system, only 10 plays will be counted per user, per day."

The same system I would think is stopping you from clicking your own adsense sites
