My understanding is that the Baen CD's which are fairly easily found on the internet due to them being "freely" shareable do contain many of the books that you would need to buy at Bean's bookstore.
I assume they will send a cease and desist letter to this website to take the book down.
As far as will they loose or gain sales... there is no way to know. Unless you can split the universe in two at the point where it happens and follow the two outcomes and report back. But, we know this is only possible in Science Fiction.
