    According to bnetd.org, the complaint still hasn't been settled. Therefore, I think it's fair to say, that the slashdot party line is still: hate.

  2. Re:but what about the pirated code in bnetd ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd

    Have the lead bnetd developers ever denied that bnetd contains code stolen from Blizzard ?

    Yes. See the second article on boycottblizzard.org.

    And even if they did deny it, how could we trust their statement ?

    How can you trust Blizzard, either?

  3. This is bull. by drivers · · Score: 5, Informative · on Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd

    So, they claim that bnetd is made of Blizzard's copyrighted code. This is complete bull. I asked Tim Jung (the defendant in this case) what he knew about this claim:

    I am not even sure what they are talking about when they say we copied their code, since they don't explain it at all or in any details. We have never had access to their servers so there is no way for us to copy their server code. We also did not decompile the clients to get information that we needed either, everything was figured out and guessed at by looking at packet traces and packet dumps of the traffic.

    You think Blizzard doesn't just care about money? Blizzard is owned by Vivendi Universal and I can guarantee you they only care about money. I run the boycottblizzard.org site.

    I am calling for a boycott of Blizzard over this bnetd matter:

    I also have a link from there to a petition that I would appreciate signatures by anyone against the use of the DMCA by
    Blizzard (Vivendi Universal Games) in this case (even if you don't plan on boycotting).

  7. Boycottblizzard.org web site by drivers · · Score: 1, Offtopic · on Chilling Effects Cease & Desist Clearinghouse

    As of about 10 seconds ago I have uploaded the first index.html of boycottblizzard.org.
    Here goes nothin'. Boycottblizzard.org is an anti-dmca protest site, for the actions of Blizzard shutting down bnetd.
