Your interpretation is too broad. The intent is not to ban *all links to any material which might be copyrighted* but to *ban those links which illegally link to copyrighted material* (they might factor intent in this, too).

The point of having well-written policy is to prevent something requiring an excessive amount of interpretation. As Steve states:

This is basically what we have right now. I’d appreciate your thoughts. **A very clear line is important and our language should be precise.**

While I agree that his intent is probably not so broad, were that the wording of the policy, it would be better to re-word it, as "language should be precise" in order to specifically reflect the intended meaning.
