Everything, ownership of the domain, codebase, digital assets for instance.

Good question If Big Corp owns the domain, codebase, IP etc. and lets Web Corp operate a site using those assets, Big Corp is not responsible for Web Corps transgressions.

A simpler analogy. Big Corp owns a pub, rents it to Web Corp. Web Corp plays music too loud, opens too late and gets fined and loses its alcohol licence. Web Corp is insolvent, but Big Corp still owns the pub.
