If you take something copyrighted and violate that copyright, you're doing something wrong. That's just how it is, even if it's because you want to get this broken copyrighted thing working for the community. Simple as that. It doesn't matter how many unsuccessful emails asking for permission etc you send, it is still copyrighted. I don't want to guess how many hours the author/authors has put into this addon in total.
With that said, one could argue what else to do since it seems the majority of Carbonite users can't play WoW without said addon. If I was one of the authors, had quit the game etc. and some capable person asked me if he/she could take over the addon, I'd be happy. But clearly the author/authors doesn't want this.
And that's how the cookie crumbles.
