Dem unten angegebenen Slashdot Artikel könnt Ihr entnehmen, das Blizzard und Vivendi einen Prozess gegen MDY-Industries anstreben. Besagte Firma ist der Macher der sogenannten WoW Glider, einer Ingame-Autorisierungssoftware. WoW Glider ist eine Sofware, die dem User erlaubt das Spiel zu spielen ohne an der Tastatur zu sein.
Dieser juristische Schritt geht auf jedenfall in die richtige Richtung.Quote:
"Blizzard and Vivendi today filed against MDY Industries, the makers of the 'WoW Glider' software. Glider allows World of Warcraft players to 'play' while away from the keyboard; the software moves the player's avatar along a set path, following a complex set of instructions dictated in advance. Blizzard is seeking injunctive relief and money damages against MDY. What that means is they want him to stop the production of WoW Glider and they want him to pay them damages. Blizzard believes that Glider infringes on their intellectual property. They believe Glider allows players to cheat, giving them an unfair advantage and that they believe Glider encourages Blizzard customers to breach their contracts for playing the game. Last they claim that Glider is designed to circumvent copyright protections."
