my take on this is that if the show sounds like crap then most people will not want it anyway; only the few people who were at the show, or the show was on their birthday, etc. are gonna want to get a copy.
this assumes, though, that the traders remember to tell each other what shows are good/bad, and maybe this is where many traders get snooty about quality. I don't think, though, that once a bad seed is out there that it is just going to spread like a plague - worse case scenario is that a handful of traders waste $1.50 on blank cds and $1.25 on postage. Not even that if people are using SHN. which they should be ;)
speaking of which, who is using shn or flac these days? i mentioned this before but got no response: if you've got md5/txt files (or fingerprint/txt files if you're using FLAC) then please send them to me so that I can archive them on db.etree.org. It hasn't gotten a new show added to the md5 database since summer 2002.
