I'm trying to figure how to start on this...as others said it's not a win-win but at best a win-lose between DMM and chinese players. The win is probably more media coverage of Kancolle (probably not going to do much) and DMM might get fine money from the theif. The lose is people's opinion on Chinese just plummet a bit more, DMM just gained a negative experience toward Chinese players.

Yes, China is one big potential market for pretty much anything out there (e.g. E-sport like LoL, Dota, SC or just MMORPG etc.) but how do you think DMM will feel about expanding its online gaming service to China right now after this incident? Probably not good.

Everything follows the "Where there is success, there are followers and improvisors of that success" so no, it's not only Chinese who did this, people attentions are just more focused toward anything replicate-ish that Chinese did.

Your line about "new" country doesn't compliment with your win-win arguement or your previous sentence at all (but the fact is right).
