See this Japanese site, for example.

http://www.hakusa.net/shogi/kifuup/

The above site has pro's scores, but JSF doesn't sue them.
More importantly, it offers a system that anyone can post pro or
ama's score, and the webmaster clearly states that game scores
do not have copyright, regardless of pro or ama.
