I was thinking about this the other day. Back in the late 90s when I was first on the internet, I came across pirated books. Seemed to be mostly high-profile authors and best-sellers. I think they had been OCR-ed and then crowd-sourced the proof-reading and corrections. A lot of work and only worth doing for the most popular books.
