I read a short story along these lines earlier last year, but I remain unconvinced. I store my ebooks on my desktop, my laptop, my eReader, a detachable harddrive kept in a fireproof safe, and in privately-rented cloud storage.
If you can crack that system and change one word in all my copies of "1984", then you probably could have done the same with my print copy as well - since either scenario basically involves a conspiracy so vast that I'm screwed either way.
