| I find the this pretty interesting.
I am trying to remember, but I think the US Supreme Court decided with respect to copyright infringement suits for music that unless a program was designed exclusively or purposefully to infringe a copyright (sharing music files), the owners of the program couldn't be held liable for other's breach of infringment from using the program. This issue is coming up now with the MPAA suing a lot of online torrent sites.
This isn't online music, but it is potentially copyright tied in through the EULA I would guess, and it does pertain to programs available for use over the internet. I have no clue how contract law plays into this either, since I think in the US contracts are more state law than federal, which means a federal court would apply in part the proper state laws.
Just reading the website for the glider program the creator was aware long before this that Blizzard probably wouldn't approve of the idea. He warns of potential bans and why, and goes into details on the Q&A section.
OH well, will have to wait and see how far it goes. |
