Do two things... So, you'll have to change this depending on how many people, on average, sign up for new accounts. 1) Don't allow more than one new account from the same IP address in a single hour.
2) Decide how many people sign up in a single day, on average. Multiply that muber by 1.5. Divide 24 hours by that number. Put a single block of javascript that disables the button for X seconds, depending on what that number was (and for those without js on, make a bit bold warning), and when tht time period is up, it automatically sends the info. If the login info is sent before that time period expires, lock out that IP for 24 hours.
So, the bad part, this only works reasonably well for sites with lots of news sign-ups every day (like a few hundred/few thousand. Otherwise you'll just have to pick an arbitrary time limit, like 2 minutes maybe), but the good part, a minute or two is not too long to have a tab open sitting in a window while the timer clicks down, and the best a spammer can do is a few accounts an hour, instead of thousands. This will defeat even the groups that hire real humans to sit and read captchas all day.
While it may seem wholly inappropriate for a business to use its employees' identities to defraud credit companies into providing loans, perhaps we should take a step back and look at the reason the CEO had to resort to such tactics in the first place. It is deathly hard to get a business loan.

Hi, I am running for president. If I win, I promise to do one single thing. I will create and sign an executive order to split the gold in fort knox equally among the workers, friends and families of those those work at the companies that make the voting machines. Included in the order will be a clause that gives them complete immunity from ALL prosecution for any crimes they ever commit, and also they get first in line for heart/liver transplants, etc.
You seem to be saying that all drugs are harmless. Tell this to any father whose daughter has been introduced to drugs like Cocaine at a party, gotten addicted, travelled down the path to where she has to do unspeakable things for money to buy more, and then eventually died from an overdose or suicide. I think you'll have an argument on your hands. I've seen this happen. It's horrid. You can't group all drugs in the same backet. Drug pushers destroy lives for their own profit, and they have some pretty devastating, instantly addictable weapons in their arsenal that they use to draw young people, particulary girls, into their net.
Wait a second, you are referring to alcohol here, right? I mean, I know she'll do some *really* nasty things when legally drunk, but come on, it's cheap. She won't have to do the unspeakable nasty things to BUY alcohol, she'll just do them ON alcohol. And yes, it IS horrid... But so's Darfur, what can you do...
Oh wait, or did you mean to make a point about *illegal* drugs? Because I am having an *awful* hard time trying to figure out why it's better for your daughter to have unprotected sex when wasted on Smirnoff Ice at the frat party than to have unprotected sex while high on pot at the frat party.
Imagine cloaking thousands of giant baloons and floating them over your city... In come the bombers, and whoops there is another baloon in the air intake, there goes a $2 billion bomber for the price of a $45 baloon!
Sure, give the lists to the managers... and then give the list of places the MANAGER goes to to the employees. And finally, go to the CEO and explain that your company employees are attempting to canabalize itself, and that he/she'd better do something quick or you are all doomed.

If I could get a text file of a book, just pure ascii text, I would buy one or two books a week, every week, or at least $50 a month. Since they don't, I am forced to buy "real" books, which means waiting at the door for the UPS asshole who won't deliver on the weekends, which means no buying online and instead I buy a single book once in two months, if I am lucky and am near the bookstore, which is closer to $5 a month.
I wonder how much money the DRM has saved them by protecting them from "book pirates"?

Yeah, you definitely see people in the office late at night and on weekends. I've put in my fair share of long weeks, worked a couple weekends straight, etc. But that was because the work needed to be done, not because someone was behind me cracking the whip, or it would look bad if I wasn't there or whatever.
It doesn't matter how much you make right now, I guarantee that I make the same as or more than you. I work at a much smaller company, and I work 40 hour weeks. And yes, there is *always* work that "needs to be done". If that is going to be your excuse, why do you ever go home? When you are done with one project isn't there *always* something else you *could* be working on? "needs to be done" is a BAD excuse, because it does NOT *need* to be done. Unless you will actually save lives by working those extra four hours, then that work can, in fact, wait for tomorrow.
The "government" isn't a group of aliens or some amorphous blob-like entity which is different from the rest of us. It is us. Its composed of people just like you and me, people who are your neighbours, friends and family.
So, how many of YOUR neighbors, friends or family are mayors, senators, congressmen or the like?
Maybe once what you say was true, but nowadays the "government" IS a group of aliens. They are a group of very rich ex-businessmen and lawyers and all live in a private world that no one on slashdot will EVER be a part of.
The gentoo newsgroups, web forums, mailing lists, wiki's and irc channels have ALWAYS been free... and you know what? In over three years of using gentoo *exclusivly*, with 1-2 days between complete system-wide upgrades (emerge --update --newuse --deep world), I have never ONCE had a problem that took more than 15 minutes to solve using those forums.
The problem you seem to have is that you think that you HAVE to pay to get good support. You are as wrong as you can be.

What do you want to bet they won't be claiming that business loss on thier *taxes*?

Since that money was spent on the company, does that mean the employees are the rightful owners of the company and all it's assets?
