Heavens no, certainly not sites like SP - they do a great job, and the extremely reasonable charge for their DVDs do no more than cover costs. No, the sites I'm referring to are the numerous sites who are re-selling PG classics, etc. as individual downloads for a few $ each. I'm not going to name any - they are numerous. We are making their life a lot easier by providing them with nicely-formatted books to "acquire" and re-sell. It's not illegal, but why should other people profit from the work that we do here?
The reason we started the "Book Uploads" section on this site was as a means of encouraging people to visit MobileRead, and a benefit for our members, not as a source of material for other people to profit from.
