Re:Does this mean Vivendi are good or bad now?

The Freecraft thing was pretty bad if I remember right, but they had every right to shut down bnetd, considering its sole purpose was to allow people to play pirated copies of Warcraft III online. I know, this is Slashdot, everyone thinks they have the right to take things for free if they want them, but I can understand how Vivendi might think differently and might even *gasp* try to stop people from not paying for their products.
