    No, it's a breach of copyright unless permission has been given.

    If your web host just terminates your account and take down those contents, you should count yourself very lucky.

    You could get sued by the copyright owners for copyright infringement and end up in court where you would be fined heavily or even jailed depending on the law of the land.

    If you understand and accept the risk then go ahead. Just as long as you know what you are responsible for.

    As a forum owner, you may still need to be proactive in taking down illegal contents from your site.
