Yeah, that's where I disagree. This phenomenon is inherently in poor taste, it deserves a bad name.
The actual phenomena that require serious discussion like lack of market protection, lack or consumer protection, lack of contractual protection all have serious names that allow for the discussion. So the bad name isn't an impediment to anything important.
I just think our society is descending into ubiquitous poor taste fast enough without such words rattling around in our brains. But I'm old-fashioned; I had similar reactions to "The Dead Kennedys", "The Butthole Surfers", and "The Vagina Monologues".
