What they sell is a high level competitive play which if I am not mistaken does not come packed together with the game when you buy it. So it's not Blizzard's property. The game itself is Blizzards property All the sound, unit ideas, graphics, engine etc. is made by Blizzard. That's why it's so hard for some people to get google partnership as gamers on youtube, because games don't actually belong to them and they can't make money off it despite doing commentary etc... | ||

I think. | ||

Only if this was clearly said in the licence agreement. If not, they can only block using this contain, they actually cannot use it without author's permition. I think. | ||

So it really doesn't matter if they are in Korean court and if Blizzard loses this because of it. So, did i understand the shutting down right? Can they actually shut down the game/scene somehow even if they lose? doubt it. get games + lan = blizz can't do anything i hate blizzard  they have been going downhill for a while :3 | ||

Blizz loves money, nothing around that... but the main issue here is: they are making money by using game blizz made, without paying the licence to do so! blizz has never went after someone who used their stuff without making money (icefrog for example made it sure that people dont send him donations for dota, cause he is not allowed to make money off of dota) they are not suing progamers and teams who only do what they agreed to when the game is bought: playing it!! they are suing people who get paid for the rights to broadcast it even tho those rights are not their to sell, and those who get sponsor money by broadcasting when they are not allowed to! (and i like watching bw) | ||

(and i like watching bw) I think you can accept donations. For example, Carbonite, the makers of a quest-mapping add-on you can use for WOW cannot straight up ask for a fee to use their content, because it depends on, and makes use of WOW, a license they don't have. However they do freely ask for donations all the time, and it's kind of like their indirect way of being paid - even though you can get it for free. | ||
