It appears they are the freeware releases by EA, but have been repackaged to be more convenient to install.

if its freeware they no longer make money off it
so how would this be illegal in the first place?
(possibly and ignorant assumption)

Prove to me that EA made a freeware release and that those files are indeed the same freeware releases, and I have no problems with the links being available here.

The actual iso images and such are, as far as I know, not hosted by EA anymore. It's perfectly legal for these packages to be made, to allow easy installation and running of the games, though.
