Blizzard attempt to kill WoW bot bad news for copyright law

Blizzard attempt to kill WoW bot bad news for copyright law

By scrolling through the EULA and clicking okay, you agree, and can then play the game. Here’s where Blizzard’s logic gets slippery. To play the game, certain parts of the code have to loaded into your computer’s RAM. In effect, Blizzard says you’re making a copy of the game. Since Glider breaks the EULA, you no longer have a license to make that copy in your system’s RAM, and now you’re infringing on Blizzard’s copyright.
