Pip, the only thing I'd reiterate, in mitigation of the points you've raised, is the point that Matt made regarding the fact that that comprehensive file sharing of these titles may undermine future official re-issues. And I also think it's not a bad idea, if someone is going to go to the trouble of setting up a file sharing site like the one above, that they include some means of compensating the artists - and even the label, who, after all, invested in the artists and made the original recording available in the first place.
