From Wikipedia:
In October 1984, Fred L. Worth, author of The Trivia Encyclopedia,
/Super Trivia/, and /Super Trivia II/, filed a $300 million lawsuit
against the distributors of /Trivial Pursuit/. He claimed that more than
a quarter of the questions in the game's Genus Edition had been taken
from his books, even to the point of reproducing typographical errors
and deliberately placed misinformation. One of the questions in /Trivial
Pursuit/ was "What was Columbo's first name?" with the answer "Philip".
That information had been fabricated to catch anyone who might try to
violate his
copyright.^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_Pursuit#cite_note-4>
Worth's arguments were rejected by the courts.

it sounds rather like the idea of putting
duff information on maps so you can prove copyright.
