Re: they won't allow you to use facts to embarrass them

>Just ask the customer. Next to every search result put a little link to
"Rate This." The link would pop up a window with a 1-5 set of radio buttons
with the simple request, "Please rate the quality of this file set." Add a
text field for comments.

Amazon does this.  Go to Books/Advanced Search.  Title=Huckleberry Finn;
Author=Mark Twain; Format=Kindle;Sort Result By=Avg. Customer Review

Q: Does this work in practice?

A: Nope.

Q: Well maybe PG's customers are more intelligent?

A: You tell me.  The Huck Finn debacle at both PG and Amazon would seem to
point out the problem is not self-correcting.

IMHO the best solution to keep customers from downloading crap versions is
not to offer them -- or to fix them.
