It'd be okay depending on the jurisdiction. Lawrence Donovan died in 1950, so in the year-of-death + 50 countries (like Canada & Australia), the ones he wrote solo went PD in 2001. (the ones by creator and original author Lester Dent entered the public domain in '03; not sure of the other early authors - obviously the one by Philip Jose Farmer (d. 2009) and the ones by Will Murray (still alive) will be in copyright for a lot longer, even here).
Heck, if someone cared enough and had the time on their hands, Mobileread (working under Canadian rules) could host at least 90% of the Doc Savage catalog, maybe more.
