They have the power to protect theirselves. If the hosting provider thinks that they will get pulled into a lawsuit, some of them will shut the offending site down.
I have been through this before. One of my members posted some copyrighted material on my forum. The owner of the material contacted my host and threatened to sue everyone involved. My host contacted me saying either I remove the content or my account would be closed.
So I removed the content and gave that member a 5 day ban. In the end everyone was happy (hopefully), besides the member that got banned, he was not too happy.
