Airbnb encourages hosts to comply with their local laws and in a number of larger cities, promotes a regulatory scheme with the cities that requires licensing and even blocks listings that can't demonstrate compliance. There's no willful blindness here -- the challenge is that these are hard issues for localities to grapple with, it's a relatively new business platform and regulation has to catch up. I went through this when I was at eBay too, dealing with laws about what you could sell in a global internet auction marketplace -- there's a period of time where best practices about what regulations make the most sense get worked out, and a higher level of compliance gets achieved. Airbnb is working all over the world with cities to figure this out.
