As far as that thread goes, yes. I very much doubt a small independent label would be willing or have the resources to sue someone for downloading a OOP edition of 100 (or 1,000 or 10,000) record. Very little of what's posted on there comes from corporate monster labels, and even if it is it probably isn't likely to see the light of day again and no one will ever give a rat's posterior.
I think people should definitely respect the owner of the work's wishes if they don't want it shared, though.
