0 years best, but I think some unauthorized sharing data could support
a merely shorter term -- recent, popular titles are the most shared
titles, but older titles constitute bulk of sharing, and presumably
most in need of distributed curation. That was my takeway from
http://ijoc.org/ojs/index.php/ijoc/article/view/1261/712 which
admittedly only looks at some Hungarian filesharing networks. I'd be
mildly surprised if similar didn't hold true worldwide.
