"Illustrative purposes" is a legal reason to use a piece of copyrighted material fairly. Such as quoting from a news article and also linking to the source.

I would say that it will more impact youtube itself who is a collection of catagorized links, than boards and people who link to the link list, per se.

I guess it could be rationed out to the nth degree and include everyone everywhere who links to anything which itself links to...... and so forth.

From the OP: "If the index is organized, like categories, submissions and with instructions where and how to find files, the operators must also ensure it's not unauthorized before it's published. Otherwise they commit the copyright infringement too."
