In theory the file is keyed to work with only one installation of CONNECT and on the devices registered under that installation. If copies of the text are distributed that contain that specific code fragment then yes, they have a way to track where the leak started. Since the typos are (from what I have gathered) consistant from one copy to another on the books from Sony, it is most likely that they are the result of lack of final proofing in their rush to get the Reader and support materials out for the Christmas 2006 season.
