Blizzard sued by WoW Glider creator

Nov 27th 2006 1:07PM (Joystiq)
MDY made a product of tangable value so wether they give it away free or make money off of it is irrelavent. The best Blizzard can do is ban people using the program for violating the terms of service. It not really any different than people who buy radar detecting/jamming devices so that they can speed or prople who buy a vcr to tape their favorite episode of popular tv show. Speeding is still illegal and so is the recording of someone elses copyrighted material but the courts deem the fair and proper use of those devices outweigh the unlegit uses of those devices. In the end any parties who recieve legit damages still have legal recourses against guilty parties. I don't think Blizzard has any right to tell another corporation what software they can and cannot make. They can either find a way to identify and start banning users or alter their software to make it incompatible with the Glider software.
