If you are talking about simply providing a clickable link to another page then no there is no violation (although it is considered good "netiquette" to ask 1st).
If you are talking about "hotlinking" in order to use graphics, music, video, etc. from another site then yes it is a violation of copyright not to mention theft of bandwidth as well as really bad manners.

Will linking to high Pagerank sites help my SEO?
It won't help unless there is kind of a link web set up, where other sites are also linking to you. You can do that on your side, but unless other sites have a reason to link back to you, it might not help.
How do you put a copyright on a photo on iPad?
Copywriting an image has to be done with the copyright office of your country. If you have uploaded the image to Facebook or other social media sites, you may not be able to copyright it.
Where can you watch twilight?
The easiest way is to rent the DVD or download it from services such as Netflix. Sites which offer "free movies" are often in violation of copyright, and listing them here is pointless if they are going to be shut down.
Is copying any article's url or a webpage url from the internet and pasting it in Google Plus communities illegal?
No. Linking to content via a URL is generally legal, and the preferred way to reference content that is owned by someone else. What is NOT OK is copying content owned by someone else and using it as part of your own page. This includes, words, music, images and video. While "everyone does it" it is a copyright violation and is illegal. There are exceptions. Many websites have Terms of Use that specifically exclude the practice of "deep linking", that is linking directly to content, rather than going through the content owner's home page. This is especially true with commercial news sites that typically charge for content. Several courts have ruled that deep linking without proper attribution is not "fair use" and is a violation of copyright law. If you're going to use a URL to link to content that is owned by someone else, be sure to note the ownership of the content along with the link on your site. If you try to pass of someone's content as your own, you're asking for trouble.

How can a website be in breach of the digital millennium copyright act?
Most websites are more likely to violate the "old" copyright law than they are to violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but the prime way sites find themselves up against DMCA is by distributing software designed to circumvent DRM and similar copyright protections. DMCA takedown notices are often sent in response to posting infringing material, but that's a violation of the plain old copyright law; DMCA just makes it easier for rightsholders to respond.
