Gerry sarastic prat. There are serious ethical and emotional issues depending on how you value the work of songwriters and the meaning of credits to the family of a writer. Plus there are practical losses of copyright through misinformation snowballing. What gets put in one site finds its way into others, or artists take it as fact.

Apart from auto pages with wrong information, there is another problem in the ethics of deliberately reproducing a credit page based on information from an old cover that is known to be wrong due to previous errors of some kind, and has been corrected elsewhere. So for people who study the origins of songs or are connected to them, it does all have a consequence. Unless you know what its like to have a song miscredited on a major basis and to lose financial and the emotional issues and the kudos attached to a song, then you truly cannot know how it feels. They put in moral and paternity rights into the 1988 copyright act for a reason, and now these parasites like Discogs come along and undo the work to give songwriters their due. Such is the beast that is the Internet.
