LN, you may be missing the point.

Baen and their authors (some of them) allow their books to be distributed - it's their choice.

The problem with illegal downloading is that the authors/creators of that work are not involved in the decision-making process - that is the issue.

If authors or artists decide to make their work available, that should be their choice - not someone else's.
