I speak German and had a look at the example document [1], and it's hard to tell how big the changes are - this document shows the original and the changed version and asks how annoying the changes are, from a scale of 1 to 6, presumably to know how much their algorithm can change before the rights-holders complain. Often, the words are replaced by synonyms ("nicht denkbar", not thinkable gets replaced by "undenkbar", unthinkable) or switches the ordering of words ("zwischen Blei Gold und Silber", between lead, gold an silver becomes "zwischen Gold, Silber und Blei", between gold, silver and lead), just the connection of words is changed ("Schmiergeldübergabe", transfer of bribes, becomes "Schmiergeld-übergabe") or the linebreaks are slightly changed, for example one word is moved to the next line. At this stage, it's very hard to tell how much the final mechanism is going to change the original text, but I can't see much changing of very minor elements like punctuation. It's still a stupid idea since many of these above elements are important to the "vibe" and meaning of a text - the way an author orders elements, or the specific words used by authors can be interpreted differently.
