Sorry, I shouldn't have implied the file itself was measurably 
different.  However, identical copies are still copies.  Companies 
create many slightly varying offer files, hash them, and track the 
hashes of the returned files; if they get more than one file with the 
same hash, they can prove duplication and refuse to honor the offer.
