How hard is it, really, to have something that checks PG, sees if a title is there, and disallows it being uploaded (or being charged for).
Especially as they say on their front page something like "Over 3 Million Free Books". Of course, 2 million out of those 3 Million are being sold, but hey, they should be free.
It's just like Amazon, they say they have all these free books, but in practice, most are being sold.

This maybe morally questionable (especially if the price is high), but legally acceptable. I wonder, if Google stops people from doing this, she may get served in the court.
Besides, judging by the quality of a few of the "free" materials, I have no problems paying for properly edited
ebooks for a "reasonable" fee (more like $2-3).
