I wish I had of thought of those deals first, apparently after 100 years or so book copyrights expire so classics like Dickens, Poe and such can reproduced by anyone and sold by anyone at no cost.
Dracula by Bram Stoker wasn't the first vampire movie because of copyright issues, when the copyright expired Hollywood could go nuts at no cost.
I read that on wiki somewhere, so it must be true
