Digital Millenium Copyright Act, a US law that essentially provides conditional indemnity to sites and companies that host user-uploaded content if the host are sued for copyright infringement - so long as they comply with a DMCA request and remove/deindex them.

EDIT: The law bans DRM removal even for cyrptoanalysis and makes copyright infringement more prosecutable as well.
