The plan, already implemented, is to flood file sharing systems with bogus files or broken files. The solution, not yet implemented, is to attach digital signatures to files, and have the file sharing software recognize certain signatures as good or bad.

This is completely unnecessary if you address the document with a cryptohash. An URI like http://localhost:4711/f70539bb32961f3d7dba42a9c51442c1218a9100 can only adress a particular document.

If you serve broken content your node's reputation falls through the floor.

Note that content is distributed, dynamic, and you have no idea what you're actually serving.
