From [zdnet.com.au...]

Although Cooper didn't host pirated recordings per se, the court found he breached the law by creating hyperlinks to sites that had infringing sound recordings.

This is the first such judgement against hyperlinking in Australia.

What other types of directories would be illegal in Oz?

Would a search engine that give links to copyrighted material be illegal too then?
