It's also likely that businesses will reconsider outsourcing essential parts of their web infrastructure, such as forms, to third party providers. They'll be more likely to hire a web developer to implement data collection on their own servers, which would ensure that their business won't be impacted by someone else's domain being taken down (for valid or invalid reasons). Bad news for JotForm, but maybe good news for independent web developers.

And really bad news for the economy overall as we now invest our time and money in building 1000 crappy, redundant, bespoke copies instead of using one of a few really good ones like Wufoo and spending our time on building new things that improve the state of things. Feudalism might keep everyone employed, but it's generally not good for much else.

The downside being a "drive-by" comment, user posting, legitimate download (and one that later turns out to have some subtly questionable copyright parentage) or other detail that triggers a take-down your primary domain.
This matter is a mess all the way 'round.
