Also not a lawyer, but links aren’t copyrighted and don’t require any special permission to share.
The reason why pirate bay and others got in trouble for sharing links is that they were linking to copyright infringing material.
Linking to the copyright holder where they publicly host content is not the same.
If they have want restricted access then they should configure restricted access. This is why Netflix makes you log in, etcetc

- boublepop 6y agoSigning up for a subscription to a site and sharing the acccount is illegal. But there you are essentially just sharing a link that contains a secret. That secret is the username and password. But nothing wrong in that secret being a uuid, which is what we have in this case. Not saying that their “security” is snot bad. But you can’t defend a car theft by saying that the defendant left the key in the ignition.
