Is it illegal to put links from Megaupload, Rapidshare or any file hosting websites to your own website?

I’m just wondering, because I made this new website and I am thinking of putting links from Megaupload or etc. on it and I was wondering if it’s illegal. Will I get sued? Or, is it okay to do that? Also the website is still a FREE website, not a Paid by month or Premium account.

Shouldn’t be any issues, unless you’re providing links to copyrighted media/programs, in which case an aiding copyright infringement case can be made against you.
If you’re just linking to various files that aren’t copyrighted or are licensed for distribution (eg. Creative Commons license, etc.) for open distribution, there should be no issues.
I don’t think so… because you’ll still be linking back right?
I guess it’s like every movie site out there that put up videos from Youku/Tudou/Youtube/Mega – like this website: http://www.watch-movies-links.net
If the owner of the video finds their movie etc. on Mega/Tudou/Youtube etc they’ll just take it down from there and the video won’t be on your website anymore but if you’re just linking I don’t think you’ll get into trouble.
