Bug Description

Noticed a pattern of really bad errors of author names due to either spam or import problems. The names seem to be all associated with CD's. Some examples include:

Count Cddssa 27022 Basie
Jimmy Cddelt 24980 Buffett
Steve Cdduny 27009 Lacy (with url: http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL3407397A/Steve_Cdduny_27009_Lacy)

To get some sense of the pervasiveness of the issue I did a search for "cdm*" and 6,743 hits were returned.
Spot checks show that records were Created April 30, 2008 from anonymous import.
