Hmm.. How about Gone With The Wind? It's in the public domain in life + 50 countries, but the copyright holders has threatened lawsuits with any Canadian site that hosts it as an e-book. The holders cite the ability to download outside of Canada as the reason. (That's why MobileRead doesn't host it, ever though it is legal in the host site (e.g. Canada)).
Is this a case of good security, or legal bullying? (Citizens of the country who enshrines free speech muzzling the free speech rights of another country, but protecting their own IP property?)
