"This won't stop any hacks from being developed. Nice try tho Blizzard.

I can't remember who Wiggly is, Dark_Mage I believe retired from making hacks some time ago and I have not sold or released anything.

This all seems nothing more than a joke to me. "

this is a recent response by zynastor. i wont post website. but he remains defiant.

Though "profiting through the sales of hack programs" is pretty much indefensible on any level, Blizzard's recent slate of legal aggressiveness is concerning.

Yeah, I think when you start profiting from it, is when Blizzard starts doing something. Otherwise, I don't think they really care. Because more banned users = more copies cold ;P

You're totally correct about the long-arm statute and I agree.

All I'm saying is that there's a line of CA state law cases saying that contracts that say "jurisdiction will be proper in CA" may not be enforceable if an insufficient amount of activity took place in CA, irrespective of the long-arm (or dependent on the long-arm, depending on how you look at it). So, the contract language is saying "CA is proper, bitch" is limited to "CA is proper if it's ok by CA law"... (consistent with CAs broad long-arm). Sop you can't just take the K language on its face. That's all I'm saying.

This conversation is funny. I can't understand a damn thing you guys are saying. I suddenly understand what bystanders must feel like when I nerd out with some friends.

Wow this is the first truly positive thing, aside from banning the 5k hackers, I've seen Blizzard do in a long while. I actually harbored some resentment towards them recently due to the events surrounding them/KeSPA, among other things. This puts some faith back in Blizzard for me, showing they actually are taking measures to ensure the game is high-quality and hack free. Any steps taken towards discouraging hacks of any sort I support!

nah, those who would pay again 60$ are only the loyal sc players, but again those ppl do not cheat (at least most of them).

Kids who just want to have a high ladder score to show off to their friends (the majority of cheaters imo), i really doubt that they gonna buy the game again. They will go back to lineage or whatever cheaters' paradise.

Blizz doing good.

Hmm while this might be a little harsh i hope it will make hackers think twice before ruining the game.

“Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.”

i hope these guys get whats coming to them. would be nice to see blizz put whatever money awarded from this into developing the western e-sports scene.

Blizzard fighting!

Problem is they have no jurisdiction in Canada. They can potentially apply for registration with the civil courts to enforce the lawsuit in Canada, but that can take upwards of a year. If i had to guess, the canadian suits wont come to fruition. (although blizzard has more pull than the average suer)

And I seriously doubt they have any sway in Peru, in fact I bet that guy is laughing at them.

well if they downloaded starcraft and messed with it yes.. because we all agreed to blizzards happy agreement treaty! ~i think so i guess if we modify the game without blizzards person they can do some things..
