I saw more than a few recently published O'Reilly books on the list, so I'm guessing not.
EDIT: I noticed that some of the random titles I looked into actually link to the book website. For example: "Real World Haskell" goes to the realworldhaskell.com website. Maybe these are legal after all? A great find indeed if they are.
Everything I clicked on goes to legal downloads. Of course, I only clicked on a handful. But we all know there are a lot of illegal downloads out there, and I'm not seeing any that I recognize.
I tend to like reading physical books (gasp), but some of these are definitely worth scanning through. The E-Books Directory website as a whole has tons of good stuff on other topics, too.
It's collections like these that make me sorely tempted to purchase the new Kindle when it's released. Imagine having every one of these books in a portable, readable, display.
I prefer paper books also, but I also like having electronic copies for searching for specific information. I wish more publishers included cd-roms with their books.

They did sort of an open editing dealy.
Edit: Seems that they are linking only to the site and not a pdf for RWH so it could well be legal :)
