Here's a link to the
Policy.
The relevant short answer is that MobileRead does not allow links to sites that host illegal (read: "copyright infringing") texts available.

If they're legally available on such sites, they're also going to be legally available on
other sites whose legitimacy is ... let's call it "less questionable."

I had a teacher in High-School that summed up his view of morality as: "If it's wrong, don't do it -- and you know the difference." I'd add, if you
can't tell the difference it's probably wrong.
If you're reasonably sure that there aren't any illegal books, then fine, but please don't get ridiculous on us and post stuff where you "don't know" because you've "completely and deliberately declined to look."
In other words: Please read the forum
policy, if something is contrary to that policy, please don't post it, and if you can't tell, then please don't post it (we'll just have to pull it down).
