It's apparently a fairly common practice to do so. The examples I have
heard are mapmapkers who put in false towns or slightly change the
height of mountains. That way copying becomes pretty obvious.

In software, I put in little bugs (ones that aren't normally triggered.)

Yes, it does make the "information" a bit less accurate, but not
significantly less so.
