They've actually done that already. Before most people switched to torrents, they would purposely put out bogus files, or make the file you got useless. I remember some stuff my brother downloaded, it was the actual song but every 15 seconds, it would have a loud squealing noise. That way they nabbed you, and you didn't get anything of worth. They stopped doing that though, because it became more difficult with torrents to have it be worthwhile
