I've read through many of the comments here. People are discussing laws, morality, and how race bias affects our behaviors. All interesting topics. The thing that is most obvious to me is that disrupting technologies and services like $x.sharing challenge existing laws, which are based on past experiences and don't plan for future growth.

It's also obvious we're ill-equipped to deal with it in a timeframe that is reasonable. It's a race condition that the law will always lose, because by the time it catches up the new disrupter will be in full effect.

I think that AirBnB is doing a good thing by trying to address a real problem, even if it's not 100% effective. And if they determine it is not, I hope they continue to try and make it better.
