As far as I understand this post, a system like this could be abused by people who are anti-p2p and is open to abuse. Companies who are paid to disrupt p2p networks already own thousands of computers on the network and it wouldn't be hard for them to rate any good files as anything they liked and have every limewire client on the network judge them as such. The addition of multiple reasons why a file is "bad" would just make this problem worse, as they could vary the reasons used, making it even harder to tell a good file from a spoofed bad file
