Anyone should know or be aware of public domain material has a negative reputation in business.
Today with a big launch of that going I can see at the book store things that the general public despise about public domain.
To me it's not the material, it's the cheap prints.
Years ago like on James Bond Movies and Books, they had huge hype and marketing campaigns for each book or movie.
So when you go to the book store James Bond is now all book prints for $25.
You see the product line and the price from every store is generic printed books all titles for $25 in one package.
That's what the general public doesn't like about public domain, anyone can sell those books so they are only all prints for $25.
After that, you know you can just read it for nothing.
Then public domain books become specific purchases for people who want that title for a personal reason and buy the book, or schools may order them for class discussion like Mark Twain books etc., that are public domain and the book order becomes free text printed books for school classroom discussion.
