Having done transcriptions, I'd argue that there's a significant amount of work involved there. True, it's already been done, but it was quite a labor of love on the part of many, many volunteers.
Having listened to the Ra audio files, I'd argue that most are actually not that bad, in my opinion, that L/L couldn't just rip them to mp3, post them online, and say here they are.
Again, I'm not saying they should do this but that I don't see that there's a clear reason why the audio files should be treated differently than transcripts or, especially, pdfs of the books. Personally, I think L/L should consider charging for both the pdfs of the books and the audio files.
