I am less dismissive of this situation for a few resaons. 

  Firstly, regardless of whether or not there is some sort of illegal conspiracy to favor particular auctions, it is certainly a matter of systemic, ongoing, regular and frequent incompetence by the foreclosure mills who are, AGAIN, not actually checking these papers prior to Official filing.

  Secondly, we are talking about people losing property based on a flawed process.  Some of these people may be of limited means financially or elderly without a good support system or of limited English skills or otherwise unfamiliar with their rights.  When a confluence of circumstances occur that takes a property away by a flawed process and that property was never in foreclosure to begin with, it has the potentially of really affecting someone's life.  While you or I are healthy and able to deal with a bit of hassle and stress, a 90-year-old war widow can be driven to her death by this sort of thing.  Not fair at all.

  Finally, if we as a society are investigating robosigner and notary flaws in this process, then why not dig deeper to the other process flaws?  We are either wasting tax dollars on these other issues, or we should be giving other process flaws their due consideration, given the hundreds of properties per year whose title is clouded in various ways by improper procedures.  Look at a prior forum post about the elderly couple I helped out a few months ago that were in a tizzy over the foreclosure notices that they were getting, and I think you'll get the point.

  Do we excuse bad behavior?  No.  These corporations pay a pittance of annual registration fees to gain indemnity against liability for their owners (stock shareholders) and operators (managers, executives, and admnistrators) from We the People as Citizens of our States.  The trade-off has got to be that they comply with the statutes and codes which govern them on behalf of the people.  Otherwise, they need to be held accountable for their incompetence.  Courts are great after-fact ways of dealing with it, but it don't help when granny's been tossed in the family plot.  Capiche?
