Because they say so? Where did they get legal rights to distribute the books? And do you care if the download is legal or not?

Repeating the same question from post #16 of this thread.
I am wondering why, and what is your agenda?
Are you insinuating downloads here are not legal? Do you not read the blurb before every book download? Let me quote it for you.
"This work is in the Canadian public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution. It may still be under copyright in some countries. If you live outside Canada, check your country's copyright laws. If the book is under copyright in your country, do not download or redistribute this work.
To report a copyright violation you can contact us here."
I repeat, EVERY book download has this caution before the link.
Each person who downloads a book answers the question for themselves.
