Well the last thing I personally have to say on this issue is that if there is any difficulty at all, theoretically it is only if you directly link to the file on the site. You should be able to do dead links (non clickable) without any problems.
An example some here might be familiar with is the notorius edonkey2000 site www.sharereactor.com , where linking to illegal files is deemed legal becuase the site itself contains no no illegal files and the links are purely indirect in nature. There is much circumvention occuring in this instance, but in this instance they appear to have circumvented the rules concerning circumvention too. I'm not sure mentioning the name of a site can be said to be circumvention, I think possibly its pushing the point a little too far, but I don't know too much about German law I suppose, so maybe asking for some legal advice might be helpful. There are several free EU based legal services you could try. Just Google for them to find out. Or if you can't find anything try this: http://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/asknoquestions.htm It should help clear things up for you once and for all.
