Wow, seems like a heavy burden to a landlord.
That wouldn't be the case here. Landlords here need to give 24 hour notice before even entering a domicile - They couldn't be seen as automatically complicit.
Of course if the cops could prove he/she was aware of the illegal activity that would be a different story...
I think the closest cases here involve club owners who are complicit in the sale of drugs out in the open in their clubs, that has happened.
I would just think that a tube site owner - or google - could be responsible for what's publicly visible on their property - Our strip clibs don't have bay windows to the main street but these public websites certainly do.
