Remove a link?

I have a question for the community. I wrote several articles at the end of last year about Medicare Part D. I linked to the Medicare.gov site in my article. I just received a request from SilverScript to remove their link from my website.

I didn't directly link to their website in my article. Medicare.gov actually linked to their site.

To remove SilverScript link, I will have to remove the Medicare link. If I do that it not only removes some of my primary links but could have an impact on my rankings and thus traffic to my site.

Question is, what obligations am I under, both ethically and legally, to remove the link?

Thanks so much in advance for any help the comunity can give me on this isue.

there could be legal implications I know Nathaniell got asked to remove his domain name as it infringed if it is a big company they can make waves hard as it is I would remove the link and perhaps ask Medicare gov if you can link there or perhaps contact silverscript and explain it to them see if they will compromise, you could ask Nathaniell he may know

Thanks, Katie. SilerScript said they had "changed their focus" (?). It may be, that I should remove the link, but leave the reference.

that would be a compromise it is disappointing when you have to make changes, sure there will be another way, wish you all the best with it

Thanks Katie.

I wouldn't know the ramifications of not temoving it. Perhaps you do't have to remove it. They may be trying to get you to remove it for whatever reason. I'd ask someone like Marion or Kyle.
