Legal Analysis Critical of Blizzard v Bnetd

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-to-look-at-it dept.

anewsome writes "As reported previously several times, Blizzard has sent a cease and desist letter to the ISP of bnetd (which develops an open source Battle.net emulator). Lawmeme.org (from the Yale Law School) has published a long piece with lots of background and legal analysis on the case. Conclusion: Blizzard has an uphill legal battle."

    By wheeling out the laywers from the word go, they alienate the very developers who could actually think, and come up with some way to aid them in the future.


    Yeah. They should keep in mind that the only people who can come up with software solutions are the slashdot community. Not the people who write the software in the first place.

    Are you a fucking idiot? The war3b only includes online play. You can only play it online.

    That is what this whole thing is about. Why don't you learn about the issue at hand before spouting your irrelevent and misinformed two cents.. oh right, this is slashdot. Nevermind, continue to be an idiot.
