‘Operation Decoy File’ To Help Deter Online Piracy

Something like this might work in Japan but, at least in other countries, I don't think it would be a deterrent at all. In fact, it would probably just piss people off.

While this may seem ultimately naïve for international online folk, the ordinary Japanese citizen is generally averse to online piracy and downloading. Most people tend to be of the opinion that it’s simply not worth the risk to illegally download movies or music – even with the country being close to the top of the list for bandwidth speeds and Internet connectivity. So while this plan – apparently called "Operation Decoy File" may seem unnecessary, it may actually work in this country.
