A couple years back, a european court hit a games company with a creators rights infraction for a paraphrased rulebook and new art.
Many Russian versions of games are unlicensed. Most chinese produced chinese versions are pirated, often directly from the PDFs sent for printing.
The D&D 4E PDFs leaked to the net the day before release day were the printer's PDFs at high resolution; either someone did a man-in-the-middle, or an employee leaked it. Either at Wizards, or at the printer they used.
BGG has a whole list of unauthorized editions.
