I can sleep at night and feel not even a slight amount of guilt about listening/having the unreleased stuff. Just like all the live bootlegs, the master reels share a similar classification. For some hardcore fans they hold a particular value, but for most others, they are just sh*t! As long as no one is profiting from them, I see no reason why there should be any feelings of guilt. I understand that some artists may feel frustrated over their lack of control of things they never intended to release (sometimes very unflattering moments), but's not like Stevie is losing profits from unreleased material.
