Share in public = More people have access = More traffic to the links and higher number of purchases, which would happen anyway.
It has nothing to do with action of the person SHARING the links in public. EA doesn't just find out about it by scouring the web for hundreds of hours. Once a link is exploited it's only a matter of time before it's flagged and shut down. Paul909 got the info out to everyone BEFORE those links were closed down, bashing him for that is pathetic and ignorant. He made an effort to help people, everyone should be grateful. And if you got to his links too late and couldn't get the boost, that sounds like a personal problem. Not Paul909's.
At least he wasn't like some people on here "selling" the boost links and marking up the prices to pocket some money. People like Paul909 are what have helped EPvP grow over the years.
[Edit +] Furthermore, I'm certain people could gripe that links should be shared secretly or only to people they trust. And I have to ask myself, what makes everyone think they're in such a high position that they should have that info over someone else? Because they think themselves as being trustworthy or earned it in some way over someone else? Or are they just greedy and narcissistic. This is an open community where people work together for an environment where everyone helps everyone; they take and give back. This isn't a breeding ground for cliques and scammers trying to earn a quick buck.
