  The low cost/benefit of crowdsourcing competitions leads to stolen/plagiarized work crowding out legitimate work. The benefit is too low to spend time on legitimate work, vs stealing a final product and adapting it.

  A better use would be to create things that would be costly/impossible to achieve without crowd participation. It needs to be something where everyone involved is able to point at the end result and say 'I was part of that'. Or where everyone is compensated for their small contribution. Like a wave at a sports game. or reCAPTCHA http://recaptcha.net/
