It is amazing how Donnelly tried to play the innocent "gee I didn't know" excuse. Let's see Blizzard says don't use bots, you clicked "I Agree" about not using bots, you start selling said bot code to make money off Blizzard's copyrighted property and then seem surprised when a suit hits you Donnelly if you read this, settle NOW before you make a complete ass of yourself in a court of law. |

Great job, Blizz! And no matter how "good" a bot is, you can always spot them in-game. Bots next to me get reported every time. If I have to grind, so do you. Play fair or gtfo.

We are watching here the slow death of a company.. trying to sue programers in an effort to get some public attention.
Sad really. |

Legal issues aside... The Short Version: DEATH TO ALL BOT USERS! The Long Version: DEATH TO ALL BOT USERS; MAY THEY HANG FROM THEIR ********* ON THE TOWN SQUARE, BOUND BY PIANO WIRE, WHILE THE LOCAL POPULACE USES IMPLEMENTS OF TORTURE ON THEIR ROTTING BODIES AND SPIT SPITEFULLY, WHILE CURSING THEIR NAMES FOR ONE HUNDRED GENERATIONS TO COME <gasps for air>. MAY THEY BECOME INFERTILE, RIDDEN WITH CANCEROUS PLAGUE AND STINKING SORES. MAY THEY NEVER PROCREATE AND HAVE SOME GENETICIST MAKE A RETROVIRUS THAT WILL INSTANTLY SEEK OUT AND DESTROY EVERY LAST STRAND OF THEIR DNA, SO THAT THIS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE TOTALITY OF THE HUMAN GENE POOL FOREVER. Wow.....that felt really good. |

Originally posted by SlaySteele I love you too :D Now let's see, what profile should I use now? Found one. Lovely, I'll better get back to developing that Customclass while my bot is running. I'm sure you'll meet my bot some day in the BGs getting owned by it (though you won't believe it was a bot). <3 |

Blizzard is wrong on copyright (and will hopefully have this charge dismissed). Claiming that a copy in RAM on the computer where the game is legally installed violates copyright is a very dangerous and slippery slope. Nobody (except maybe the big corporations) wants Blizzard to win their copyright charge. If they can find different legal grounds to shut the bot producer down, great. If not, I would much rather see bots in WoW than see copyright expanded in the way Vivendi is trying to (MPAA, and probably others, would love this). This is the type of suit EFF would normally get involved in. |

Originally posted by frankinla That maybe so with glider, not so with the open source bot, much more lifelike. The commercial botters conscider bans an acceptable cost of business and of course it suits blizzard to sell another copy of the game. |
