    Lets take example for movie review site. I review movie then provide download link but it is not in my site. it just provide link to some torrent site or some forum.
    Just curious guy because some say it dont violate legal treatment but i think it violates them.
    So which is the correct one?

    thank you very much

    I think you'd be on shaky ground. Expand the problem to something you know is illegal...."I don't sell drugs, but here's a list of places you can get them". Would that get you in trouble? - probably.

    Not mentionning all the commercial contracts that could be cancelled thanks to that (Adsense, for one thing).

    I would not link to illegal files, my advice to you is to discuss this issue futher with a lawyer or an attorney.
