If you're hosting it yourself you're still legally liable but at least you get a chance to defend yourself instead of being betrayed by your host with no recourse.

Anyway, emulation isn't illegal so it's not even clear these developers did anything wrong, but proprietary web 2.0 services shoot first and ask questions never because that's the best way for them to cover their asses legally.
