I have a similar habit, except I save the pages or (more recently) clip them into Evernote.

In my opinion, sharing the fic with other people after the author removes it is the point where you'd become an entitled asshole.

Only if you do it unprompted, otherwise it is no different than circulating out of print books. There is nothing wrong with sharing a deleted fic with someone else if that other person asks for a copy.

AYRT
I feel like there is a difference between sharing deleted fic and circulating out of print books. Most notably, out of print books have a limited supply, while fic is easily copied and may end up spread far further than intended.

Actually, if we're comparing to physical books, out of print books are probably closer to fic that was hosted on a now-deleted site (or distributed via alternate means to the ones used currently, eg zines).
Deleted fics are more like recalled books, like copies of the Bible that typo the Ten Commandments (except far less exceptional historically).

Either way, I'm still going to err on the side of "don't distribute deleted fic".
