of course, this is a worry. but, authors who refuse to allow legitimate digital editions of their works will either encourage pirates to make their own (see J.K. Rowling : the Harry Potter books are probably the most copied ebooks in the world, but no legal editions exist because she refused), or they will eventually be left behind by authors who *do* allow digital editions of their books.
A judge whose book is modified by someone who wants to prejudice him can always defend himself by showing the TRUE version of his text.
