Until that one case where they do, and you're on the other end of it. Hoping for a sympathetic reading of the law is not recommended.

The law says it’s only copyright infringement if you know the link contained infringing content, and if you make money with it that’s counted as "you know".

That’s all it says – this website is again blowing everything out of proportion.
