It's a question of if they're going to be able to successfully battle copyright and otherwise illegal content issues (if and when they get popular).
I don't believe the existence of their legalese dodging all liability will hold up in many countries for instances. As for user liability it's been shown that countries will battle those as well. Examples:
1) Usenet servers get routinely taken down and it becomes a game of wack-a-mole.
2) BitTorrent seed peers with illegal copyright content are routinely served DMCA notices.
