Glider Lawsuit Discussion Thread

[obox]

@ doubledown lool whats stiumlating ? people getting gold and gaining lvls while they are sleeping or at work ?

Obox, you're blowing it out of proportion.

The ToS and EULA are agreements that you Sign basically saying that Blizzard owns the game and servers, and can do as they please with the content and ownership of thus said.

Not that it's illegal to do things like automate activity; Whilst sure, that is true that if you automate activity you will most likely be banned for it (Illegal in "Game-Law"), because why? Blizzard owns the content and can do as they please; Not that they are going to lock you up into jail, because they are not the law. It would be silly to do that; and quite illegal (Illegal in the real world which you seem not connected to.)

The legality of Glider and like products goes as far as retrieving information from the WoW process in one of said ways; It's being contemplated whether copying WoW into RAM is against Copyright laws or not.

It's not about whether it's against the ToS or EULA, because it's not stated in the ToS or EULA that you cannot create a program to Automate activities; Because that would be against the law.


So why don't you, and your nay-sayers go and diddle somewhere else off of Botting forums; Just simply because 1) You're ignorant and know not what you're talking about. 2) You are close minded, and cannot think for yourself; And you are solid on your opinion that Blizzard is correct 3) You're ignorant and have not an idea of what you're talking about.

Thanks.

ok nice

And in game 'law' shouldn't carry over to real life law.

I agree, I find the case a bit silly. However there must be a good reason for the case, I am not expert at glider but blizzard must have a good reason for suing. (copyright infringement maybe? not sure) or else there wouldnt have been a case in the first place. That or MYD will win because blizzards reason isnt good enough.

Oh my, its very funny people take it serious when the auction house is being inflated. Its like we all live in that world. And MDY Might lose to the fact its acessing a games memory, but since the game is installed on the clients computer, and the values are sent to the client, there is no way we are acessing blizzards data. Technically, its our data that is going through our RAM. And not blizzards, I will look into the case and file a report back here to give a closer look.

Some people should not even try.

They should keep thinking they know, and then keep those thoughts to themselves; Because they have no idea.

[JonLeonTM]

So anyone actually have any NEWS about this?

[Blackie123]

I dont see how this can still be going on... Are there that many legal proccedures that must be done? Or is Blizzards case just not that strong?

[Speedracer22]

I hope Blizzard wins I don't like MDY and I don't use Glider.
Blizzard won the first round and MDY had to pay 6,000,000 $.
The creator of Glider made a shitload of money by creating a program that violates the tos and the rules he aggreed to follow and not break...

"And in game 'law' shouldn't carry over to real life law."
So you mean that if we break rules of the ToS and such it shouldn't matter in real life.I aggre but this is a particular case...the guy made millions with this bot getting some people too much gold and honor on wich others should spend hours to get it..however you look at it the bot breaks the rules the creator sold over 100,000 copies also it was named "wowglider" now they changed it to "mmoglider"

you are a noob what makes you think glider is going to lose its there since 2006 they wil not lose now to anyways because the judge never decided yet and it keeps going like this its the same as 2006 glider wil never lose of those rtards on blizzard what are to stupid

The fact of it is, MDY will loose, Blizzards case is way too strong. If you look through the entire proceedings Blizzard has an avalanche of evidence to support its case.

What MDY is tyring to do now is limit the damage done to Mercury, Blizzard is trying to make Mercury personally liable for the damages to Blizzard, which would effectively ruin him as a person and set a precident that Blizz could go after any bot makers personally and pretty much be able to destory anyone who makes any bot.

On the other side, if the personal liability is dismissed form Merc it is MORE than likely MDY will still be permanently shut down.

Blizz has done very well in this case, theyve already unfortunately won in my eyes, now is just battling for the fallout.


Possible outcomes.

1. Blizz losses alltogether > very low, the initial ruling is already in their favor, apealing this will most likely do nothing.

2. Worst case scenario > Blizz wins and Merc is found personally liable for the damages > MDY and merc would most likely be entirely ruined. Blizz would also be able to file against every bot creator out there holidng them personally liable. This would make creating any bot way too risky for any person to do.

3. Most likely outcome > Blizz wins against MDY but Merc is found not personally liable. MDY would be finished and any oher companies selling Botting or supporting platforms would be targetted by blizz.

[iradiation]

oh goody a thread for people to think they know law when they don't QQ. Oh well atleast it keeps all the leechers from spamming up our boards!

[suicidity]

Haha, Like I said. They have no idea; 98% of the posters in this thread are clueless..

Much like these Obama voters; Howard Stern Obama Black Vote

Nothing against Obama, I'm sure you're going to be a great president..

[skydevil]

I thought the judge was supposed to make a statement last week?

[TunakTun]

Its funny that the higher members of this web site are making fools of themselfs bashing other people in this thread, and not giving there own opinion. I am sure it said no flaming...

[Darisha411]

Blizzard made a lawsuit against Brian Kop too for his leveling guide and he won it so u can't be sure who wins this case

[amunro]

im almost certain that if MDY does lose, the creators or even someone else will just take the program, edit it a little and make a new company. Besides, there are already lots of alternatives. Blizzard should take all the money they are putting into court cases and put it into coming up with an idea to ban bots perminantly!

Good luck to the company that has made the wow + having a girlfriend dream come true :P
