That brings up an interesting question. At what point does a modified file no longer fall under copyright?
If I had a copyrighted ebook and changed a single "o" to "0" I bet I could still be busted for distributing it (although it appears Dropbox would no longer automatically catch me). But what if I changed every single "o" to a "0"? Re-arranged words? Chapters? Upcased every lowercase letter?
My guess is that's it's based around "intent" which is hard to quantify, but it's still interesting to ponder.
