Another good question would be though if they sponsors would be mad at a site for doing this to promote there stuff?

Yes, but dmca'ing forums, and sites that link to torrent files on TBP are VERY useful.
As far as whether sponsors are okay with it or not. I would say it would depend upon your relationship with the sponsors in question. If they know you and like you and trust your judgement to send sales...then that would obviously weigh in their decision. If you are unfamiliar with the owner of a program and were worried about ramifications, then I would write them and explain what you are going to do. Of course, at that point they will probably dmca the offending video down that you are hotlinking to.
In the long run you'd be better off hosting vids yourself and staying within guidelines. Tarpy is walking a line over there at cliphunter. So far successfully, but still...it's very gray.
