Thread Name: The problem with Discogs
Subject: RE: The problem with Discogs
To reply to your garbage Phil. Discogs doesn't just reprint cover information (which is often wrong). It has an autobot harvest feature..with separate song composition data automatically created by Discogs It is spouting out garbage - the performer is sometimes stated to be the 'composer.. It has a composition first recorded... which is also often garbage. I produced an example.. My father's song is correctly stated on the original CD by Joss Esplin as by Stewart Ross.. (It was written in 1968, and first recorded by Stewart Ross on a 1969 single).. Yet autobots are currently stating the following..Google heading.   "Home To Inverness - Composition by Joss Esplin, Sandra ... - Discogs" It's not printed on the cover, as being composed by Joss Esplin it's not claimed to be written by Joss Esplin... He is only the performer it is purely an autobot creation by Discogs, which is harvested. As far as I am concerned these parasites are creating false copyright information.
