Unauthorized Web pages

This might sound silly, but couldn't the library simply ask the offending 
party to either:
1. remove the web page.
2. Work with the library to make it accurate.

If you discuss their goof-up in a way that says "gee, you guys really 
look incompetent," one would think they'd be willing to listen, since 
their inaccuracies reflect poorly on their business.
