It is ok to link to freely available files that are not copyrighted. However, linking to a PDF that has DRM has no purpose except to encourage breaking the DRM as you cannot read the file and the fact that it has DRM says it is very likely copyrighted. MobileRead does not condone copyright violation, DRM'd or not.
