In the USA, at least, that's called copyright violation. Even if you think it's worth breaking the law, looking at the big picture, it's hard to see how distributing bootleg copies helps RQ or Glorantha -- this doesn't create a demand for anything, and doesn't result in the creation of new products.
It's obvious you have no regard for Greg Stafford and his work if you're going to pirate it. If Greg doesn't want his work xeroxed and distributed, that's the end of the story as far as I'm concerned.

Original stuff! Yeah! That's what Glorantha needs.
BTW, you still have a WINMAIL.DAT attachment. Perhaps you should complain to Microsoft?

This sounds very reasonable. I'd add a random factor, however -- you might think you're taking it easy one year, but that might be the year the trolls decide to go for the tough heroquest.

While it's true the Barbarian Belt doesn't quite get to the coast, Junora is very close. Who's to say what has happened in the past?
And although it probably happened to the south, Harmast's LBQ involved physically travelling to the western ocean. Other full LBQs might as well, and there could be some influence.
And of course, there's Umathela, which is even further away from the mainstreamOrlanthi lands.
