Facebook is concerned about possibly having to pay licensing fees to music publishers and rights owners. The new policy is a disclaimer, attempting to release Facebook from any responsibility for infringement. It's however unlikely that Facebook would be judged to be in the clear if it's determined that they are benefiting from uploaded content. Most likely they will balance the threat of paying fees against the hurt to the appeal of their product caused by their own restrictions, and that will determine the level of enforcement.
