Gaming Blizzard wins Warcraft bot battle

[Darg]

Blizzard has won the first round of a legal battle against the maker of software that automates game play in World of Warcraft.

It brought the case against MDY Industries claiming its WowGlider program infringed its copyright.

An Arizona district court has ruled MDY does infringe Blizzard's copyright but not in the way the game maker claimed.

WowGlider controls characters in Warcraft so they kill enemies and loot them automatically.

>>who told him to stop selling the software and hand over profits from it to Blizzard.

I think asking for the profits is stupid and greedy. They obviously weren't suing for the sake of keeping the game bot free then.
