Why do people do that? How many times do you download a movie and get something other than what it was supposed to be? There are too many assholes in the world.

I don't think it's the normal users like you and I, but it's companies and hired people that do it to cut down/end piracy.
I agree it's frustrating. I record my mp3's thru streaming now.

There was a guy that recently (past two years) that did his doctoral thesis on influences on a population and what causes quick downturns in size.
His work was initially on herd size of types of grazing animals if I recall correctly.
Then he reworked it and looked at P2P sharing and saw that the same math laws applied to it and the thing that would most quickly lead to collapse of that system in usability and size would be if the names were all changed so that they did not represent the correct data.
As AAP noted, some (many?) companies in the recording industry paid some people to go out and try to flood the network with faulty data like that in response to that study done.
When I first started using Napster, I had just gotten a new car. In that car came a CD that told you how to use various things in the car. A track would just be a guy saying things like "to move the chair back, depress the button on the left hand of your seat and select the position most comfortable to you. The radio is a sophisticated deviced..." and shit like that.
I ripped it to mp3 and named each track the same as the Britney Spears album that had just been released at the time and was surging out onto Napster.
I had no idea that my natural desire to be a dick was so ahead of its time.

I remember downloading some boy band shiat for my wife and getting tons of death metal. It was great.

There are a few sites which tell which files are good and which files are fakes.

There are more sites than this one. Just do a search.

For the most part, if you look for a file called "Blah" and you see that there are 20 of them listed - then you can look and see that 15 of them are of filesize N and the rest are different file sizes.
Go for the ones that are of the same filesize and you are more likely to get the real thing since people will gravetate to seeking the correct ones out and keeping them.
