Just because you used their product to get money doesn't make that your money *KeSPA nods* If so the creators of programming languages would be the richest people on the planet You have no clue how copyright law works. Commercial licenses and personal use licenses are completely different. Not to mention there's a huge distinction between publishing software and movies/TV shows/videogames. | ||

Hackers shouldnt ruin the games for others, and I completely agree that, by having hackers, it decreases players motivation to buy / play this game | ||

Basically: The Court reaches the following conclusions on the basis of undisputed facts, construction of the EULA and TOU, and controlling Ninth Circuit law: Blizzard owns a valid copyright in the game client software, Blizzard has granted a limited license for WoW players to use the software, use of the software with Glider falls outside the scope of the license established in section 4 of the TOU, use of Glider includes copying to RAM within the meaning of section 106 of the Copyright Act, users of WoW and Glider are not entitled to a section 117 defense, and Glider users therefore infringe Blizzard’s copyright. - I really couldn't care less about them going after hacks, but that they won on the charges of copyright infrigement is just terrible and I really hope it doesn't work again. | ||

And I seriously laughed out loud when I saw Zynastor's name there. I hate to bring back old memes, but.. Hell. It's about time. | ||

Well, inside the US at least, states are willing to enforce judgments from other states, sometimes even if it conflicts with their own law. For example, a New York court could enforce a California court judgment for something that occurred in California, even though said action was legal in New York. It's a bit more murky for international cases, though I'd imagine the US and Canada would likely have bilateral treaties for it. | ||
