If Google becomes aware of such a link, for any reason, it is obliged by law to deindex.

How is Google supposed to determine copyright status of arbitrary sites/"links"?

It is not obligated to do that.

So what is "becomes aware of a link"? How is that different than the copyright holder sending a notice? Because without the copyright holder (and even courts) it's not very clear.

ANYBODY could make them aware, not just the rightsholder. That's what happened with Mega: users complained about the quality of Dexter videos.

A rightsholder would notify them.
