Not a lawyer, but I think the law extends beyond hosting.
From https://www.copyright.gov/512/ https://www.copyright.gov/512/ :
> OSP stands for “Online Service Provider.” ... The DMCA contemplates four distinct kinds of OSPs ... referring or linking users to online sites using information location tools (e.g., search engines).
And the text of the law itself (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512) describes DMCA immunity for:
> infringement of copyright by reason of the provider referring or linking users to an online location containing infringing material or infringing activity, by using information location tools, including a directory, index, reference, pointer, or hypertext link
