Ethics problem Discogs Database

Many forms of discography have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.…

Again: Mass media product dress + social media guidelines = social media database not discography; garbage in, garbage out.

Again: If it appeared on a printed surface then it was 'true.' The original 'error(s)' and any later 'correction(s)' are all 'true.'

True does not mean authentic, approved, fair, just, honest or legal. It may look like the English word but we may as well be speaking Klingon.

Discogs.com does not catalog musical content. The product dress, as processed by their unique submission guidelines, is the only reality.

Write that on the palm of your hand.

fwiw: Harry Belafonte screwed up more world copyrights on an average Tuesday than most artists will hold in a lifetime.
