This is, I think, the wrong forum for our disagreement. I mostly rose to
your nasty casting of "copyright police", which was a mistake. Sorry to
everyone else :)

But my final comment is thus; you have misconstrued, I think, the point of
the argument against such links. In fact; pretty much all cases I have ever
seen have been unambiguous in one way or another. So while I would entertain
the notion that such a policy is limiting our ability to link to
legitimately licensed/hosted content I suggest you kinda need to demonstrate
that with specifics.

Perhaps an on-wiki discussion is the way to progress this.
