Legality has a lot of grey area in foreign countries. You can't exactly fly these people over to the US and prosecute them for running things differently in Korea.
The point is that a lot of blizzard's success came from grass roots efforts outside of blizzard, from the custom mods produced by their consumers to the sportscasting that catapulted SC to #1 in Korea. How did blizzard react to the success that this brought them? They wanted even more and produced horribly one sided legal strings in their product that doesn't give anyone a bone.
How does this affect us the modders? In every facet of the game blizzard has grabbed control and not in a "lets cover the bases just in case" kind of sense, they truly are throwing their weight against all outside influences. From the lack of contact with the community, to the popularity system, blizzard has silently shown they have absolutely no interest in modders making a mark in their game, likely a response to the DOTA fiasco (a mod which made them millions).
Again, did you read the article? Blizzard didnt make a dime off of SC1 events. Now, in SC2 they are taking every measure possible to insure that they get paid for their work. I'd be pretty pissed if people used my copyrighted IP without paying up.
Also, blizzard has always been this way to the community. People keep bringing up how blizzard used to be "better" at community relations when in reality nothing has changed. Theres simply more people and more garbage to sift through.
Did you read the article you linked? The broadcasters in S Korea screwed over blizzard. They cracked down on the people not paying them for using their IP and you think they failed?
Here is my submission. I don't have any means of recording so if someone could make a video out of it, that would be awesome and i would love you long time.

You can also drag the map file onto your SC2 application/shortcut, or right click -> open with blizzard launcher.

A pikmin style map could be amazing with the use of attachment points and physics. Press A, chuck zergling onto ultralisk, collect corpse.

I too wanted to use the portrait, but i couldn't find it anywhere. I checked all the assets and where the other unused models are.

I would like to request:
C'thun's two parts, Yogg-saron, both of their tenctacles, and the faceless ones (regular/aquatic/caster, the latter two of which are in cataclysm).
