Well it certainly doesnt look good to have links to movies here.

[Letum]

Because you are linking to pirated videos.

I'm sure it applies to piracy in general.

Yeah, I know of at least one person who was keelhauled for sharing video.

I have not seen it, but it sounds likr that might fall under fair use.

Probably not, because borrowing a few scenes from a movie to make a spoof is fairly harmless. Loading up a marketed product and giving it away for free is definitely against the law.

A friend of mine designs tabletop miniatures wargames for a living, and when some of his stuff appeared on the web for free he sued them. When they complained that "the entire community should have this for free", the replied that

1) That was his decision to make, not theirs, and

2) A lawsuit in this case was mandatory, because if he didn't take action it constitutes tacit agreement, and he would forfeit his copywrite.

Putting up a copywrited movie in that fashion will without fail bring a lawsuit down on the heads of the site owners, and they will without fail lose.
