Making intentionally false allegation of copyright infringement is a really really bad idea - i suspect it would be considered fraud - and i'd advise anyone planning such things to rethink. Suggestions in comments that someone should accuse the prime minister, cabinet, APRA and more is really bad advice.

There is no penalty for mistaken false accusations -- that's not the same as intentional false accusations.

Most torrent trackers include a large number of false IPs - they list people who aren't sharing at all, they're just randomly chosen - and that is how a group of researcher easily convinced the RIAA to falsely accuse a printer of sharing/downloading films illegally.

It has been suggested that you can find a list of government departments, libraries, schools and hospitals and add them to a tracker -- make it look as if they too are sharing stuff when they're not -- trivial to do.

This also would be a bad idea - and i advice folks to not do it - but i can't think of how you'd ever be caught.
