I entirely agree that, if significant work is done is tidying up formatting, or putting together a compilation of difficult-to-find material, then that can certainly be worth paying for. What I have "issues" with are the people who just reproduce PG material, completely "unimproved", and charge for that. I know there's nothing illegal about it, but to profit from something that you've been given free of charge is, I feel, a little questionable morally. It's just a personal opinion - I know that others will probably disagree, and I've no problem with that.
