Apropos of my former employment at Gracenote, Daze Reader had two entries (1 2) about the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra give-away CD presenting users with pornographic texts rather than song titles. Apparently somebody didn't realize that what they typed in at their computer got sent back to the Gracenote database and just entered stuff to shut the computer up. Data quality in public databases is indeed a huge issue...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
