Ecopies of DH were around before the book came out. The "carpet version" was photographed, not scanned, so it was clear it wasn't a forgery. Rumour had it some store employee had grabbed a copy before the release date, took pictures of it, and sent it out to the torrents.
It was fairly unreadable, though. OCR'd versions took a few hours after the release date.
