iTunes Duplicate Artists

I’ve noticed that the iTunes Music Store has multiple artists with the same name. Normally, with database-driven sites like iTMS, this isn’t a problem, since artists or song titles would have different IDs assigned to them.

But there are two bands called The Perishers, and two artists named John Williams (the composer of soundtracks like Star Wars and a blues guitarist — I don’t know what’s happened to the classical guitarist). The odd part is that they show up on the same iTMS pages as though they were the same artist.
