I read this on wiki a while back and wondered how it might translate to forum owners if they display a link but dont host the infringing content.
"Many sites are receiving DMCA notices and taking down links to infringing material as a result. Because the links are taken down it is rarely challenged in court resulting in link liability being a grey area of the law, although based on previous legal cases it leans in favor of copyright owners.[5] Stephan Ott of LinksandLaw.com states that "linking to infringing content is unlawful and that is also what most of the courts say"
