If AirBnb was not a US based company and instead say they were based in Europe or some tiny little island with no laws whatsoever, would the US laws still apply?
Their business model continues to work worldwide, no matter where they are located...
I can understand the gripe with the rents increasing, but AirBnb is only one enabler, this kind of thing was possible before using Craigslist, it's just it was more hassle involved. If the hosts believe AirBnb violated their trust and gave away their information, they will must move onto The Next Best Thing(tm).
