It sounds like the program just calculates your outs, the pot size, and figures out the best +EV play, and executes it... (I didn't read about it yet)
I think this is dangerous (in limit games) but not a real threat. It would be no different than playing someone who is really a great player (always making +EV moves, because he's looking to win in the long run).
It's unfair yes (bots don't go on tilt and they can multi-table 24/7 without ever stopping), but what can you do about it?
If party poker (using them as an example here) finds a way to detect it, surely the authors of this program (or anyone else who writes a program to do the same thing) will update their bot to counter act PP's detection.
That process would continue constantly, with no winner.
With people playing overseas with overseas transactions, I'm not sure if PP can do anything legally to stop each abusive user (I haven't read their TOS).
