The problem with that thinking is that wowhead, wowinsider, etc., do not require the game to be used. If the game goes down, people can still come here. Can you use an addon in any other way BUT ingame? No...and profiteers are making money from it. Big difference between a website or something like vent/teamspeak and addons.

That being said, there is a large, justified and accepted way to deal with this rule of addons and profits...just donate to the addons you use. They never have to ask, and still get compensated for their hard work, can pay for bandwidth and webspace to host the files and you can give some appreciation for something that you use daily.
