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.
