Dear god I hope not...

Violating copyright law shouldn't be as easy as adding a 'buy it here' link.

Also, what is the "problem" of copyrighted music? All of the music I 
create is copyrighted (by me) and I release almost all of it under a 
Creative Commons license which allows people to use it in various ways.

Respect to artists, yo...
