DemonBuddy to stop sales and distribution

[KuRIoS]

Greetings all,


We just got an interim injunction which forbids us to sell or distribute Demonbuddy.

The text means more or less, that we are not allowed to sell or distribute Demonbuddy. A hearing date in the next week or so will be set up and then the judges decide in which favour they will decide.

Next few days will be really important and I hope you stick with the team, as our offer is serious:


"All of you that stick with us over the next few days / week(s), we will be doubling your sessions once this is over."


What does the injunction say?

The defendants are forbidden:

In the Federal Republic of Germany, acting personally or though any foreign company to offer software and / or distribute or support software which allows customers of teh applicant (EA/Blizzard) to automate moves in the game "Diablo III".

The defendants are warned that for each case of infringement of the above order, a fine of up to 250,000 EUR or imprisonment up to six months.

source Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. filed an interim injunction to stop sales of DB

nearly 2 days are gone, took opinion of four lawyers and here is what we decide:


We are working on a Geo IP Solution, based on countries. We will use a paid solution for that, to guarantee that:

Only our customers from outside of Germany will have access to Download Demonbuddy
Only our customers from outside of Germany will be allowed to connect to the Authentication of Demonbuddy
Only our customers from outside of Germany will be allowed to connect to the Navigation of Demonbuddy

I am sorry for all Germans and people living in Germany, we must hold to that ruling until the hearing.

Sales will still be stopped till the ruling of the LG Hamburg. For everyone.

Demobuddy will be ready in few hours, once our system filters all the German IPs, we will give it a go. All of you asked for a refund, sorry!

Well there is no RMAH in WoW.

Edit: Come to think about it raises a question: what is left now? AutoIt scripts? Sark is most likely getting nerfed along with chest farm. HB detectable, IB not for sale... Legit playing?

[minihansen12]

I think its a good thing, so we can get rid of all the bots

[czullo1]

Well there is no RMAH in WoW.

That why i said its serious now, it will not take days, rather months to another start.

Your living in a fantasy land, will always be bots as long as people know how to program.

[hackerlol]

'No DemonBuddy CANNOT be used in the meantime while this is happening, as you read the injunction prevents us from UPDATING the bot, and there was a patch last night, so we CANNOT update the bot to work on the latest version of Diablo.'

I think one of their developers said this. So we won't be able to use in 1.0.3 till their courts allow them to update their bots, How long is this going to take....a few weeks ?
Bah and I just bought my year long copy 2 days ago. Thanks for posting this kurious..
