Description acceptable. Henry Alford’s New Yorker article “Ink” documented dictionary words used for this purpose like “esquivalience.” The discovery of phone listings used for this purpose led to the 1991 case Feist v. Rural, which rejected the “sweat of the brow” doctrine for facts. A rural mailbox photographer in the Columbia Encyclopedia created for this purpose named Lillian Mountweazel now names entities created for this purpose. The title of a John Green novel was inspired by a place created for this purpose supposedly in upstate New York, which Rand McNally insisted became real upon the opening of a general store in Agloe. For 10 points, “trap streets” and “paper towns” are fake entries used by reference works for what purpose of detecting intellectual property violations? ■END■
ANSWER: detecting copyright infringement [accept descriptions of detecting plagiarism or copying; accept copyright traps or copyright enforcement; accept intellectual property trap or intellectual property theft or IP trap or IP theft until “intellectual property” is read; prompt on fictitious entries until “fake entries” is read; prompt on paper towns or trap streets or Mountweazels until read by asking “what purpose do those things serve?”]
