What about just linking the links that mention mp3's etc. back to
fedorafaq.org?
No.

By providing a link, that says "mp3 playback", we're circumventing that
thing called the DMCA. Or we're aiding, so to speak
We can say "Good Google search terms include: 'fedora +faq', 'fedora
forum', etc..." but we can't say, "for mp3 playback, click here
(off-site)"
Alas IANAL, there's a legal queue Karsten, that you can get Greg to put
questions like this on. But AFAIK, this has been answered by legal and
the above response is at best, what we can do
