I do see where you're coming from: what I'm saying is that we shouldn't have to resort to file-sharing for this purpose. Over-reliance on file-sharing can have a negative impact on the consumer because rights holders use it as justification for DRM. But let's not turn this into a piracy thread, yes? There's nothing stopping you from reporting errors to the publisher in an e-mail. A forum isn't really necessary.

I've reported a few, but got no answer to any of them so I don't bother anymore. It's not really piracy related, it's just the way things are done over there. There's no real reason why the same model couldn't be adopted by publishers, but there would need to be some sort of incentive to do so. Maybe a bounty where they refund you some of the purchase price for each mistake you find, or give you a discount off your next purchase.
