Did this happen in the past with bed and breakfast industry?

This is a great article... http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20140513/TECHNOLOGY/140519964/schneiderman-to-issue-new-airbnb-subpoena. Essentially the judge told the city to redraw the subpoena to specifically target only those listings that are 100% illegal (people who rented whole apartments for less than 30 days, since it's legal to rent a single room if you are present.) Once they hand in the new subpoena, they are cooked. What this basically means is that in each jurisdiction, the court will be able to make requests to get a list of those businesses running illegally.
