The DMCA (specifically safe harbor) has been a god send to businesses like Google, Facebook, many of Microsofts ventures etc.. This what AirBNB is currently using as their defense in the court cases they are having with cities, most notably San Fransisco. I read a great article about this not long ago:

Wired also has an older article talking about this too:

Its what allows so much of the internet to be the way it is, but abusing it or pushing it too hard could have serious negative consequences..this will be something to watch.
