So folks posting the links to the Apple Music-exclusive NIN beta tracks and demos that were released a few weeks ago, on Youtube, so that non-Apple music users could listen to them, would be a bannable offense under this ruling? What about posting Youtube music links in general?

edit: okay, it looks like what the admins are trying to say is that 'hosting' or linking directly to a download for copyrighted content is what's infringing. But it's super easy to download music from youtube videos using a simple web converter, of which you can find many with a simple google search. There was also a torrent put up a few days after with these tracks. What about the torrent for Steam paid mods for Skyrim that went up not a day after the paid mods announcement and got thousands of upvotes? Would these posts be bannable?
