    Unless you have the rights to it ( which 999 out 1,000 times nobody does), it is not legal.

    Even if you're just posting links to illegal material or are embedding stuff from another website, you're still guilty of abetting copyright infringement.

    Loads of people do it as there is plenty of demand for those kind of services.

    Not everyone on the internet gets caught obviously ( and offshore hosts which pay little or no attention to DMCA's and copyright notices help too), but in a nutshell, what they are doing is illegal.
