Youtube store the material and do not just have links.

And the link on The Piratebay is most probably not illegal. Even not in the English court since they evaluated the total site and did not say anything about a single link.

So the question is is it OK for a country to block Wikipeida just because they thing they have pointers to copyrighted material that can be downloaded?
