Sue people who discuss HOW to make hacks, even if they don't post a single line of code? Do you know what the Peruan guy actually did? He wrote this on his source hub: ... for (;  {pointer = OFFSET_MAPHACK_TABLE_BASE + sizeof(unit_t) * pointer_short; ... json_uint(fp, "player", unit.player_owner); json_string(fp, "type", units_table[unit_model]); ... } He didn't sell anything, he didn't draw minimap anywhere, he didnt release the .exe file The program reads parts of "SC2.exe" RAM, writes them to his program RAM and save it to a file on hard drive. Even your antivirus does that, so if we take it to extreme, the antivirus compaines can be sued for reading of copyrighted content, and you for using such a tools. Complaint: (1) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (2) INDUCEMENT TO INFRINGE COPYRIGHTS (3) CONTRIBUTORY COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (4) VICARIOUS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (5) BREACH OF CONTRACT (6) INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS And most of you here wants for those 100 lines of code his miserable life! If you think this is fair, you must be really ouf of mind. However the other two guys, that is different story. Sue me for the 4 lines above. Oh my America! | ||

Why are you referring to yourself in third person? According to http://www.wcreplays.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2584382 you ARE linuxawesome. And according to http://www.gamethreat.net/forums/archives/44007-valiantchaos-maphack-1-0-3-1-07-posts-22.html you did CREATE and DISTRIBUTE hacks. I wouldn't be surprised if you charged money for it as well. Sorry, but I'm taking Blizzard's word on this one. Maybe when you lie less, you'll be more credible! | ||

Regardless of if you are him or not, you were the one who brought up talking about what we think about him. =s Now, should you/he be sued if he didn't distribute or sell said hack? No. But if there is evidence he/you did... | ||

If said person kept it to himself and used it, they should simply be banned. No more harm done. If said person distributed it, they should get the same punishment others are getting for doing the same, that being getting sued. | ||

This is well deserved considering hacking has been a problem for Blizzard games since the beginning. | ||

So wait, your only proof that he is linuxawesome is something somebody wrote on some forum ? And you question his credibility, and call him a liar over that ? | ||

It's same as drugs i don't see drug bosses when caught get slap on the wrist cos they only sold it never made it, they get life and so we should aim for capital punishment for these hackers aswell. Getting to meet cheaters online is like getting mugged irl just that you can't do anything to protect yourself. | ||

HoN map is serversided while the SC2 map is always known by the client, it's "just" hidden by the fog of war. It would be nice if SC2 maps were serversided instead, though it might cause too much lag when the armies become bigger. | ||

They make them for experience and to learn. You're talking about completely different groups. Do not pretend their the same due to ignorance. That's probably true, but there are only 3 people accused. I think Blizzard would have targeted more if it were against all hackers. Or maybe there were all in operation together. No one can be sure. zyn is on that list and he doesnt sell hacks, he makes them for "fun". he has been doing so since BW. so right there your logic is already screwed. a hack is a hack regardless if u sell it or distribute it for free it still ruins the game. infact distributing it for free is somewhat worst seeing as more of the public will have access to those hack and fuck up ladder even more. dont know what zyns role is yet? google oblivion. or go to gamethreat website. if blizz wants to they can also sue them for the BW hacks they have made as well as the SC2 hacks. but all that said, i wouldnt be surprised if blizz went around and said "we will drop the charges if u work for us for free" watch what happens. | ||
