Botnets are a major source of evil on the Internet, from spam, phishing attacks, virus propagation and denial-of-service attacks to the stealing of financial information and other illegal activity. Does disbanding them raise legal and ethical implications?

That's like asking, if I shoot someone with a gun do I still have the right to carry it? No matter how people try to disguise software as "legit", the software is still illegal. No amount of EULAs, DMCAs, user agreements, or anything else will make the software become legally defendable.
