Blizzard lawsuit on ZDNET

<< < (3/3)

War:
I dont understand what the problem is w/ playing d2 multiplayer w/ a purchased copy.  i mean, the ruling was just that ppl cant make any online-capable mods so that ppl cant pirate copies... but u can still play SP with a pirated copy so it isnt gunna stop.  and w/ how many ppl have quit diablo u can find a valid un-used CD Key on ebay for $3.  this isnt going to stop piracy at all, its only going to stop decent mods from being made.

Celial:
as far as i remember, it was the problem, that on bnetd servers you could play with illegal copys, hacks and so on. blizzard tried therefore to stop those players by shutting down the illegal realms by  law, to prevent the engineering of hacks and so on, which would work on bnet.

our servers are running pvpgn btw, and chaos included many features that prevent the use of hacks

War:
its not about hacks, its about ppl goin over to their friends house and installing d2 and them playing on the BnetD server so they dont have to buy copies of the game

ChaosEmpire:
this is one of the reason why we block d2loader, which can be used to play with hacked keys.
i also scan regulary the database, and if i find users, with calculated keys, i lock them forever

we have many positive examples, where players bought a new cd (also after a legal one gots broken) only to be able to play fair CE...

and fair means...here and against blizzard.
thats the reason why i own so many d2/lod combos...each server needs a license

and after 5 years you will really get a cheap d2/lod combo at ebay

bdpf:
The whole set cost $30.00 at Wallmart yuck

To some ppl "WALLMART" bad word here USA
