Alex Ziebart summed it up pretty well I think.

QUOTE (Alex Ziebart @ WoWInsider)

Personally though, I feel like MDY Industries just got what was coming to them. They broke WoW's Terms of Service, enabled thousands of others to do the same, and they cast the first stone when it came to the lawsuits. They were pretty much begging Blizzard to crush them underfoot. They were doing a jig around the room singing, "You can't touch me, you can't touch me!" and then Blizzard backhanded them across the face.
