I wouldn't call DMCA safe harbor(s) "how Wikipedia is allowed to exist". At a glance I'd say it would (at worst) impact on some (most) wikis way to handle copyvios/the thin red line around fair-use, but most of our ecosystem shouldn't be affected. So, what am I missing?
Without some form of safe harbor the likes of AP and getty would have a fairly solid case for statutory damages for every single one of their images uploaded even if we deleted them fairly quickly. We could probably argue it down to $200 per image but it would still add up.
