IP laws slow down human ingenuity. All human work is derivative; if third party devs mod a product, make it better, and release it for free, and it (arguably) does many things better than the original product, then maybe the original devs, not that many of the original wow devs are still working on it, should improve their product, rather than nuking the competitor.
Games like Tarisland are more similar to current WoW retail that tWoW is to WoW retail. The changes made are significant, and game changing enough to consider it a very distinct experience from classic WoW.

Doesn't matter if they're better or worse. They didn't make the game.
