My understanding of the TL rules is not to post links to illegal downloads/torrents/warez/what have you. But, I was thinking of making some compilation type folders with various songs of specific genres (particularly good video game music) and sharing them with TeamLiquid in a blog or something.

Would sharing something of this nature go against the "illegal content" policy? What is and isn't considered acceptable. Obviously a thread like "PLZ LINK ME TO LEFT 4 DEAD 2 RAPIDSHAREEEE" would be unacceptable, but would a post with a mediafire link to a new K-Pop song, or a torrent of soundtracks being discussed in a thread be unacceptable?

Just want to know where the line is drawn before I share something I shouldn't.

I believe... if you are providing a method for acquiring copyrighted material then the staff won't be too happy regardless of if it's Left 4 Dead 2 or some video game songs.

It's not necessarily illegal if it's a direct download since you/us aren't uploading, but if it's a torrent then I think that's a big problem since the process of seeding while downloading can result in us getting canned too.

I think you shouldn't link any any material which violates copyright. If people really want to download it, I'm sure they'll find it themselves.
Linking to a song on youtube is probably acceptable. At least I've never heard of somebody getting into trouble for linking something on youtube.
