"Wouldn't a more effective strategy"

Not for a lawyer (the one doing the pro bono representation) who may very well be doing this for the publicity value of taking on the cause. (Not to mention the time and effort it would take to pull off that strategy. And you'd have to find the info to post and make up fake info which would most likely violate something in the process).

True, but for the data couldn't you just randomly sample from an address book or just make up addresses? You could attach hundreds of photos to addresses (reals ones) and hundreds of addresses to each photo.
