I'm not a lawyer but I think I can shed some light on this. Basically before the multi accounting scandals the only rules pokersites had on this type of thing was that each person can only have account. Not that you can only play on one account or that you can only play on your account, but that you can only set up one account in your name.
Basically there is no way these pokersites (mainly partypoker) didn't know multi accounting was going on at the time. They chose not to have rules against it and not to do anything about it until they couldn't anymore. It wasn't until there was a HUGE HUGE uproar on the message boards when it was posted JJprodigy won the party sunday tourney on a multi account that they decided to do something about it. And at this point they didn't have rules against it and the players hadn't really broken their T&C so it's easy to see how a lawsuit could be successful.
