Their behavior early on gave them a bad rap, and after they couldn't get anything legitimately even though they were trying, their response in some fashion was, "Well, we've been getting by as is, so why change it now? It isn't like we have much of a choice. No one's going to let us do this legitimately now." So, now it's been changed for them, and they can't do it either way.

They weren't ignorant of it at all. From our site:

You'll notice that there are posts going back to Oct '07. You'll notice that there were actual WowMatrix people involved in the discussions. If you keep going through the searches on either site using "WowMatrix" as the key-word, you'll see that we've been warning users for ages that they were going to get cut off sooner or later.
They never tried to become legit until after we slammed the door on them. And where are they getting the money to become legit with? Oh right, all the ads they served up both on their site and on their updater, while using our resources to serve the files. And even now, they are only doing the bare minimum that they are being forced to do, as has been shown over and over by individual authors, etc.
/edit I'm not mad at anyone here except WowMatrix, and those that now know the truth but still don't give a flying **** because it's "convenient for me".
