Well, for all those who say that when you buy something, you should be able to use it wherever and howerver you like, I totaly agree. But I must remind you that we are currently talking about a BETA test here, which blizzard gave copies away to a select number of people, with a user license agreement which prohibited them to re-distribute.
And They DO have the right to terminate the beta test when they want since no one paid for it.
Once the game is realeased, I am sure many of the people playing the beta on rogue servers (including I) will go out and buy the finished game.
Had the BnetD servers been created AFTER the release of the full game, I think it would had a better chance.
Now don't start flamming me because of the right to use a game on any servers, I totaly AGREE with that.. But No one has bought the game.
Blizzard SHOULD have made this a Public beta, this way there would have been no problem. It really sux to have to wait for a game when you know other lucky few are playing it and having lots of fun. Which is what motivated many players to play on rogue servers.
