I agree that Paradise Lost is in no way nu-metal (they've been around pretty long too). They've had some songs played on MTV ('Say just Words' or more recently 'Erased'), but they're in no way as succesful as bands like Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit. Same with Nightwish. So, I think, every metal band that's really popular (like platinum bands) these days, gets the 'nu-metal' tag.
On a side note: I saw Paradise Lost play at a gig here a couple of weeks ago, and they were great. Really enjoyed their latest album too. Before they performed that night, they stopped by near my hometown at a metal convention to sign albums in the afternoon, along with After Forever. That was pretty cool also.
