Well first you'll be using up there bandwidth and 2nd its still illegal content.
Even though its hosted elsewhere.

its called hot linking ,, its illegal.. believe me..

but why tho?

Because, the original hoster is the person in the wrong. But, because you were found to be linking to that site, this could be seen as assisting and encouraging the culprit and so you could get in trouble.

The songs are copyrighted material, at the end of the day. Anyone found to be linking to or hosting that content, should, in my opinion be held responsible for their actions!
