    It really depends on what you're doing with them.

    So what you are saying is that you are linking to illegal content, you realize the content is illegal, and you are wondering if you can get in trouble for this? Yes, you can.

    It's called contributory infringement, and yes, you can be held legally liable for just having links to content not hosted on your site.

    Now if you were just posting links to the official sites that had movie clips on them, that'd be fine because that content is legal...
