Not in this case:
If you want to download all the books available on MobileRead you can. No one is preventing any user from downloading every book on the site. There is no restriction on how many or which books one can download. (Monitoring whether a given book is in the public domain in one's own country is the responsibility of the user.)
All that the current system is doing is saying that if someone wants to download every book they have to do it individually. This is completely within the rights of the people who upload the books.
Being in the public domain does not mean that someone else has to do what you want with a title: it means no one can stop you from doing what you want with it once you've got it.
