You're distributing copyrighted material so the short answer is "Yes", but the longer answer is "Probably, but it really depends on a lot of factors that you haven't disclosed, like your location. It could certainly get you in trouble with MEGA regardless; whether it will get you in trouble with the law comes in large part down to the laws governing wherever you live."
The chances of anything coming of it are another matter entirely and you may consider it worth the risk if you feel that chance is low enough.
Hm, I've seen Ham-Ham Paradise do it and they didn't get trouble with law.
Plenty of sites break copyright law and don't get struck, but if you ask how to do it safely, or how to do it legally, you're going to get told how to play it safe.
So here I am.
