In an interesting case being reported by a number of reports, Blizzard Entertainment is suing the maker of a bot called MMO Glider. The bot enables players to play World of Warcraft without the need for anyone to be behind the keyboard.
According to the reports, a Vivendi games lawyer visited his house over the tool he developed. The developer, Michael Donnelly, said that this was how he found out about the legal complaint in the first place. Blizzard argues that the tool breaches copyright, the End User License Agreement and disrupts the balance of the game.
