Be careful what you wish for. Don't forget, no one has used Glider for several years now as it is no longer under development, but many others have come up to replace it. Also, botting was never really the problem, it is the account hackers that are the biggest pain, most of the time you won't even recognize if someone is actually a botter, so they have little or no affect on you.

Also, a judgment against MDY would have very serious implications with every other piece of software you use. There have been some seriously bad EULAs that this would support (photo cataloging software which allows the publisher to sell you photos without telling you, not allowed to use Microsoft software to create web pages that Microsoft doesn't like, etc.).

While it would be a minor win for the players, it would also be a very major loss to everyone who "buys" software.
