The Exact Reason that HonorBuddy Has to Quit

[SailorMars]

I didn't follow the event closely. Most of the news only cover the case superficially. I heard that Blizzard won the lawsuit in the US but Honorbuddy is a German co. so that shouldn't affect them much. I don't know anything about their lawsuit status in Germany. But from their statement:

It saddens us to close these services, but the recent advancements from Blizzard's side are only possible because of their decision to compromise the privacy of their players. While WoW runs, the game is continuously scanning the user's computer with the capability to send back exactly which applications the user is running, and in some situations even going as far as sending back window titles of any window on the computer. These things happen even if WoW is running in the background, and even without logging in to a character.

The sounds more like some advancement in warden (or any other wow anti-cheat) than legal reasons that force them to quit. Can someone elaborate the whole thing for me one more time.
