If an admin asks me to take it down, I dont mind taking it down. I dont want lemmy to get in trouble. However I do believe in this instance that no such requests have come in at this time.

Lemmy will not let you post stuff that can get DMCA'ed. It will cause the lemmy instances to lose their hosting provider if they get too many DMCA requests.

A link to a different page that happens to have a download for something copyrighted is not itself DMCA-able. Well, in theory you could DMCA anything you want, and some companies are way too overzealous about it and fall into the “abusing the system” category, but I can’t imagine that this post would ever fall under their spotlight.

Google (and reddit) deals with tons and tons of those requests every day. Now, more than likely, Archive.org would be the one to remove it but that wouldn't prevent whoever is contracted with the rights holder from sending it to hosting providers that link to it as well (after they find said link indexed in a search engine).
