Generally when an author wants to save his works against stealing and such things, (for the cheap and simplest way) they just send to themselves the text by sealed registered letter and preserve it, then they use the postmark as proof of anteriority in the event of stealing.
Now for the postmark, as equivalent you could use some pgp or Md5sum checking ways in PS.
Players could also make it simply by reporting fake or stealed books, and GMs should finish the job by warning/baning the responsible guys.
Wow, for a newbie you sure know a lot xD
(j/k o\' course, we all know that post count has no bearing on intelligence)
I think there should be a PS library of congress type thing, where you can go and read the books at no charge (but any bonuses you would have gained such as a \"Train Pterosaur\" skill won\'t be given... If those are even in books

), this serves for comparison, you can \"check out\" 2 books at a time and show them to someone to compare them and prove that one is a copy of the other... It will add to the RP\'ing aspect of it if you actually bring a GM in to the library and show them the two books in question, rather than they, with their uber-powers, skim the two books and give their verdict without ever meeting you in person...
