Well there is that.
But I would expect any commercial effort to do more than simply spellcheck a digital file before release--regardless of the source. We've already seen the example of Walter Jon Williams utilizing darknet copies to salvage his own backlist in digital format... and I refuse to believe that he's the only author it could potentially work for.
