Nope, I'm not claiming that. There are things other than copying that
are covered by copyright. But that sentence above still stands: if I
haven't given someone a copy of the document, I don't have an obligation
to them.

It may come down to the process involved, but in general modifying a
file isn't making a copy. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be
treated the same as modifying something physical: even if there were a
copy made in RAM or something while you modified it, it would be treated
as temporary and "an integral and essential part of a technological
process" (Copyright & Related Rights Act, 2003).
The file permissions thing is possibly a red herring, I don't think it
would even count as modification of the work.

No, I call it "Herbert" :o)
