The problem with simply going, 'I'll just share it, it's only digital information' does have issues. It's cool that you'd want to do it, but what about the guy you got it off? Many collectors will stipulate that you can't dump it to the general public because it will make other copies of the game worthless, including the ones they invariably own themselves. They trust you to keep your word and then you turn around and shaft them. Would you honestly not feel bad about essentially taking a few hundred or thousand bucks out of the pocket of the guy you got it from? Because that's why Kendo isn't releasing this stuff.
The second part is no one will ever trust you again,ever. So by dumping something like this you'll never get a crack at any other betas, such as 1.5. If I'm honest, if I was in the beta scene, I'd be gathering betas from everywhere simply to trade for 1.5 and wouldn't be willing to give away those bargaining chips.
