Oops, I did mean CDDB, not IMDB.  I always make that mistake since, like
CDDB, IMDB is a hateful commercial cooption of public data.

But anyway, the reason I place the blame here is that most slackards
(myself included) will sooner accept whatever garbage the CDDB contains
when they rip a cd than take the time to fill in all the details
properly and with accurate character encodings.  So most people have
craptastic data in their iTunes, and doing flaky searching can be a
bonus in that scenario.
