I think the appropriate way to deal with this would have been for twitter to have something in their T.O.S that states it does not allow this.

Twitter's API Terms of Service - http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Terms-of-Service

Do not create a bot to promote mass following. Twitter enables users to find and connect with people. Mass following does not help users find interesting connections. Applications found to be promoting valueless mass-following or following-ponzi schemes will be promptly blacklisted. So please, spend your time developing something that helps users find people with interesting connections.

Which, spam or trademark infringement? The first is in their TOS, I believe, and I suspect there are better ways of enforcing the latter.
