If you own the copyright to the text couldn't you make it known that if someone were to OCR it, clean up the formatting, and publish it that the result could be freely distributed?

I guess in a fair and honest world, yes because it's legal?

But in our actual world, it's also legal but publishers may play dirty and somehow claim rights because you published something based on their edition?

Just thinking out loud.
