The OP is correct, this is a grey area. Some cases in the US have held that if the link may be infringing if it was made knowing that the linked-to material was infringing and with the intent of inducing people to follow the link and infringe copyright. Other cases have, arguably, gone in the opposite direction. Generally, the better view is that in most cases simply linking is not infringing.
That said, your lawyer is probably going to tell you to remove the link. It's simply not worth the hassle to file a DMCA counter claim, which brings up a larger issue with the DMCA takedown process.
