It'd be like copyright trolling the Library of Babel. The set of useful programs would be totally eclipsed by incoherent gibberish (even if there were a means to ensure that the randomly generated code were syntactically correct). In other words, the signal to noise ratio would be microscopic and running this scheme in finite time would effectively result in zero valuable code being successfully squatted.
