Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA Airbnb is challenging the New York law and others in the United States, arguing that it merely operates a digi- tal marketplace, and thus is not responsible for the con- tent that users place on its site.
Do you think Airbnb has a strong argument? Why or why not?
Are you concerned that the concept of the sharing econ- omy could be abused by unscrupulous “entrepreneurs and thus give the entire novel concept a bad reputation’.’
Why or why not? Explain.
