i think it's because osu! doesn't host any of it's files centrally like these databases did, so it can't be held liable. ffr could adopt this approach, but it would force people to download simfiles to their computer instead of using the convenience of loading them in flash.

EDIT: osu! might actually host these files centrally, but it has proven to be resilient much in the same way sites like mega.co.nz are (they forfeit all responsibility)
