And so it begins… A piece about a "cease and desist" received from Blizzard's crack team of
overpaid
lawyers, because remember folks, you own nothing. Not even your
characters name or likeness.
Yes, that's right folks. That perfect character you spent time creating is not yours. Neither name nor likeness. "But
they don't mean it that way"... Well perhaps they should word it clearer then, since the current wording clearly
stretches to your creation. You're just an open wallet to Blizzard. They own everything.
I was a big fan of Blizzard, but their pattern of legal action in the last couple of years is alarming. The comments
on the article make interesting reading.
