Yep. That's already been said by BC. It's pretty sucky.

I think the only solution is to not put metadata in files. This is also
pretty sucky. When I get a file I'd like to get its metadata as well. But
let's look at our options of bad stuff we can have:

1) First inserter dictates metadata of file forever.
2) Multiple versions of a file split popularity and double space usage.
3) Files don't contain their own metadata.

Option 3 looks the least bad to me. Does anyone agree/disagree?
