If simply another link, does this mean that linking is now infringement? I thought you had to copy the copyrighted material in order to infringe… Not simply write something like https://this.that.theother/file/path/to/material/nameoffile.ext since that grouping of characters is not copyrighted, and probably not even eligible for copyright. Once again, IANAL and I don’t even play one on TV.
