[WikiEN-l] Should we not link to videos with musical soundtracks?

On the article [[Rotherhithe Tunnel]], an editor removed the link to
this video "because the soundtrack is a copyright violation":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqTUEkju5j0
It's a video of driving through the tunnel, on top of the audio of
which the maker of the video has sardonically overlaid "Road to Hell"
by Chris Rea, which is faintly amusing.
[[WP:C]], quoted at the top of [[WP:EL]], says: "If you know that an
external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's
copyright, do not link to that copy of the work." Is using music on a
video "a violation of the creator's copyright", or even "a work" in
which the quoted wording was intended to refer to?
