Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd

Posted by Hemos on from the judged-for-crimes-not-yet-committed dept.

Colin Winters writes "War3pub.net managed to get some answers out of a Vivendi rep about why they are suing BnetD and what they hope to accomplish. Worth a read to see how Vivendi/Blizzard is thinking about the whole thing. They believe that BnetD is going to profit sometime in the future, and want to stop them now. Kind of like arresting someone because they might get in a car accident 10 years down the road. "

    If it's my car that they're stealing, I'd rather stop them now rather than waiting for them to get into an accident.

    It's a hoax (posted to a forum, for Christs's sake!) and Slashdot took the bait. Aren't you glad you're paying $5 or more a month for this?
