That sounds awful; hopefully you were at least able to poison their DB with a fake name and a 10minutemail (or similar) account?
Basically, though I tend to use GMX email aliases for these sorts of useless signups. I don't want some temporary email account to be all that's needed to get control over my TV should I ever connect it to the internet again.
