"is fourcc code "o" always a fake file"

Yes



"if so why do people share them"

1) For the same reason people create and distribute virus programs - because they think it's "fun" to fool gullible downloaders

2) Perhaps to teach you that it's not right to steal and/or distribute commercial movies
