Tim O'Reilly's example here http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2006/10/the_persistence_of_bad_data.html is an amusing (for people other than Lou Rosenfeld) illustration of the perils of letting your data out and losing control of it - derivatives of it persist long after the original has been updated or deleted. A sustainability downside to the Web 2.0/data web story.
