"icky" is probably the reason 
how to verify that the uploaded material is original, nopw that's a good question. I guess there are accepted practices to do that in the publishing world. |
It is still a lot more easy to test a book and see if the material is original, than doing the same thing with videos or music. I know that youtube, since google bought them have been working on such a system for videos. The technology is already here for e-books, the thoughest part is that you need a HUGE database of books to make such a test.
