Release 3 to 4 torrents right after release date that looks credibles enough but are massively broken once tried to be installed and then wait for next downloaders to be lured and by doing so, will help to spread exponentially those torrents untill it spams the whole torrent network. If people just have to download like three or four torrents of 2 to 3GB each to have a chance of grabbing the only valid one, the average pirate will tend to give away trying to find SH5 pretty quickly... Would work especially for games that are not highly seeked after

My french fellow compatriots will understand me if I say: "C'est l'arroseur arrosé!"
I think you underestimate the pirates. It's a community, like any other, people will let others know if the game doesnt work and it will be quickly taken down from the site. Besides, most sites have "trusted" members who release working games, the average pirate only has to wait a game to be uploaded by one of these "trusted" members and he knows immediately that it works.
