Fake torrents won't work. You MIGHT just screw over a couple people. But the fake torrent will be flagged/removed/commented way before a large number of people download it.
You're also living in a dream world if you think you can take on, or bring down file sharing. The internet is file sharing over a broad network in real time. The whole idea is free information. If someone wants a book. They can purchase a computer, internet, paper, and printer. Go online and download then print up their own book. They could also go to the book store and purchase the book. As with a music album. Said person could purchase a computer w/ burner, internet, blank CDs and make their own. Or go to the music store and buy it.
People who look at file sharing as an enemy and something to "stop" need to open their eyes. I can't even imagine how anyone in their right mind can think of any way to possibly, in the slightest, put a dent in file sharing. You're viewing a problem from the wrong angle. Instead of trying to put an end to something you can't. Try to turn that potential problem into a profitable part of your business.
Take all that time you're going to use to "bring down" torrent sites to instead make a profit from them. You have an outlet to allow millions and millions of people to see your product. Every time you make a new FHG and zip file, make a torrent leak as well. You submit to thousands of sites in hopes of getting your gallery seen, why not start "submitting" that gallery in a clever torrent form. What goes inside the torrents is entirely up to you, so the marketing and profit possibilities are endless.
Music companies do it all the time. There are constantly pre-release album "leaks" which are put out on purpose to build hype for the product. Just try to pay more attention to what the brilliant companies are doing. Running off saying the sky is falling and you need to nuke the atmosphere isn't going to bring any sort of gain or profit to you or your company.
Plus, the added bonus with torrent sites. If someone is abusing your content. You know where it is. Webmasters spend plenty of time putting a stop to content abuse. Finding that abuse on a random website is like finding a needle in a haystack. However, if there is a torrent. You know exactly where to go to find that torrent. I'd think anyone would be happy to know they only have to go to one area to look for something.
