The benefit? People in other countries would buy the books instead of downloading them for free from PG, which would bring benefits to the publisher/estate.
But anyway, there is a difference between PG and Fictionwise (and others), which is often a key difference for the law: Fictionwise makes profit from selling, PG does not.
