Perhaps writers concerned about others altering their creations should preface their books with Schopenhauer's malediction:
"My curse on anyone who, in future printings of my works, knowingly changes anything, be it a sentence, or even just a word, a syllable, a letter, a punctuation mark."*
--From his preface to a prospective edition of his complete works.
Who knows, maybe it would prevent some tampering.
In addition, concerned writers could make it a provision of their will, if such provisions are permissible and legally binding, that whoever inherits the copyrights must pledge that neither they nor anyone they grant those rights to will change anything in the writer's works. Anyone not willing to take or abide by the pledge would be disqualified from inheriting. Anyone breaking the pledge would automatically lose the inheritance. The same to apply to all subsequent heirs and anyone they lend, sell, give, bequeath, or otherwise pass the rights on to. (Details about enforcement, additional penalties, a list of substitute heirs, etc., would have to be worked out.)
* Meinen Fluch über Jeden, der, bei künftigen Drucken meiner Werke, irgend etwas daran wißentlich ändert, sei es eine Periode, oder auch nur ein Wort, eine Silbe, ein Buchstabe, ein Interpunktionszeichen. (Arthur Schopenhauer, Vorrede zu opera omnia, aus "Senilia: Gedanken im Alter", herausgegeben von Franco Volpi und Ernst Ziegler, C. H. Beck, 2010, S. 244.)
