Part of me wishes we would see how much meddling they did, and if it was over a certain measurable percentage, they'd be forced to be credited with some qualifiers. I mean that way, we could see if we're reading "The Corrections: A novel, by J. Franzen" or "The Corrections: A Novel, by J. Franzen and the Corporation Known As Picador Publishing."
