Not really. DMCA was all about Napster and DeCSS, and the safe harbor provisions were a compromise that was put in to get it through Congress. Nobody in Congress at the time had a fucking clue what a hosting provider was or how anything actually worked, and pretty much EFF and industry people pressured enough people to get 512 included.
