Do you provide web hosting services? If you do I can understand how a
third party might request that one of your customers websites be taken
down (in whole or just partly) by referring to the DCMA.
But I can't see how such an issue could be related to the CC-license. If
I would let someone rent some space on a public notice-board that I own
and that someone publishes a work which is licensed under a CC-license
(on that board), that would surely not make _me_ a licensee to the
license. Why would my tenants contractual obligations (under the
CC-license) affect me?
Nor can I see why the landlord could be forced to remove references
(links) to such a work that has contested content. The only possibility
that I can see is that the tenant requests that any attributions to him
are removed, provided of course that the landlord himself distributes
the tenants work or has based one of his own works on the tenants work.
