Don't know of any book publishers who have, but I do know of some authors who are putting their own e-books out who've used such files as a starting point.

I can't recall off-hand which computer game publisher, when they 'graciously' decided to remove the DRM from a couple of year old title, grabbed a No-CD patch from a torrent and published it as an official patch.
