I was thinking of having that exist but lead to a

we're talking a software-level implementation, though, a abortive

named XXX.jpg, but stopped after 4 steps. [some brief gibberish here
to allow those in the know to see what he answered to the questions]".
If the user initially gets to a "copyrighted" result and then
backtracks and claims he took it, you'll know something's up.
I don't like it. It reeks of spying, and it's not the sort of thing we
would be proud of telling everyone about.
