Copyright infringement. Usually heavy fines and lawsuits are involved.

Yep, jail time is possible in extreme cases.

Probably not tbh
The only artists off the top of my head that actually do anything about leaks are Beyonce, Madonna and Sky Ferreira

So just don't leak their **** and you'll be fine

No, of course not, that's why the Moderators allow us to post links to illegal material.

That's because Kesha has literally hundreds of demos that have leaked, if she were to track down all the leakers it would take weeks/months and thousands of dollars on professionals.
