Perhaps some of the confusion arises from your misapplication of 
terminology. "Predatory practice" seems to be a variant of the term 
"predatory pricing" which has to do with antitrust law. It sounds as if 
you're talking about "free riding" which is not predatory in nature. In this 
case it sounds like someone is using another person's  means of 
communication to spread a commercial message without compensation to the 
provider of the medium. A tad unethical, perhaps, but hardly "predatory" and 
surely must be de minimus in terms of moenetary impact.
