The advantage, though, is that nobody needs to publish them; they can be made available on sites such as this.
A case in point: I enjoy the works of the late 19th/early 20th century author, Sir Henry Rider Haggard, all of which are out of copyright. Only two of his works, "King Solomon's Mines" and "She" - are easily found today in print, but all 60+ of his novels can be found online and free of charge.
