Okay, well Southall asked this question in that thread:
Where's tomorrow's Jerry Fielding fan going to come from? You can't buy any of his music - again - it all comes and goes within twelve hours.
And this looks like the answer to me:

Of course there are people (like me) who would much rather have the Intrada CDs, but it's not like the scores have vanished from the face of the earth.
Great news that they're available. I would also always rather have a CD than a download, but beggars can't be choosers.
The point I was trying to make on the other board is that if I was just getting into this thing now then I'd quickly give up again. I don't think anyone's suggesting what Ron seems to think they're suggesting, that people are sitting seething with resentment and will in future refrain from buying something they actually want as a way of spiting the label; but of course I can't speak for everyone else. What I would worry about would be that we are just being turned into an even more exclusive little group by what's happening at the moment, because the younger folks at the start of their journey are never going to take the kind of chances on older scores that someone like me was able to take 10-15 years ago - you can't read a review of a CD, think how great it sounds, save up for it and then buy it any more - you either buy it instantly at the point of release, or you never get it.
Some day the feeding frenzy will end (I don't know how many of the 1,200 purchasers of Invaders from Mars have even taken it out of the shrinkwrap, but most of them will be in for a nasty shock if it ever gets as far as their CD player) and in the current economic climate, I assume that CDs will become something that people will stop buying so readily. It's magnificent for Intrada and Varese, who have survived against the odds for so long, that they have stumbled upon this wonderful model which allows them to reap the kind of instantaneous rewards from releasing CDs which were never available before, and which they presumably could never have dreamed of - and it's wonderful for all of us who have (albeit very briefly) the opportunity to buy these albums, and I'm lucky that there's only been one of them (Inchon) that I've missed out on owing to being too slow to purchase - and I wish these labels all the continuing success that their tireless efforts deserve. I just feel sorry for the person who is a 10-years-younger version of me who is never going to get to join this little community of ours.

The offer is very nice, but illegal. You and others might want to refrain from putting such offers on bulletin boards instead of in private emails, in case someone from a label decides to go after small fish. They have been known to go after eBay sellers of bootlegs, though I haven't heard of it happening here (yet).
I'll take my chances. I am only offering OOP scores, not hurting any legit interests. If the label is sold out, I can't hurt them and the even the unions already got paid.
Also, I want to encourage others to do the same.
All I'm doing is reducing the demand for scalpers and speculators. I gleefully hope they lose a ton of money.
My email is in my profile.
The FBI might look a tad askew at it....

It's hard for me to tell if you're serious.

True.
This is a decision I can live with. We all do what we think is right and that may not be the same as legal. There are plenty of things and activities that are legal and are just plain wrong.
I don't see how it's even a big decision. People used to make mixtapes of mainstream music, and now some people on this board are worried about copying sold out cds for people? The FBI has much, much, much bigger fish to fry. This is a non-issue.
