Not the Israeli law. In Israel it's still legal to link to illegal things, I think (though the lionetwork site precedence may overturn this. Must ask Haim Ravia).
How do you define "to link"? Is an e-mail message "a link"? Is a written snail-mail letter? Is an SMS or spelling out the link over the phone? All of the above? If so then how would that seat with freedom of speech? And which country's jurisdiction is enforceable? The country were the writer happens to sit in (so what if he's on an international flight over the Pacific?)? The server he typed his message on? The mailing list server or the archive server? and IP laws in general. I would have expected a better understanding from you, of all people, Ira - without IP laws the GPL, BSD, Perl's artistic license and all the other great copyright/copyleft licenses would be meaningless as well.
