And now, I cancel my retail sub. Final "fuck off" to Blizz. Not that they care. But seriously... fuck them.

A private server is not Blizzard's code or work. It's a really shady gray area, that at some point will probably end up in court sooner than later.

Regardless, it's fucking pathetic what Blizzard is doing, they just lost 1 customer for life.

A private server obviously won't be 100% Blizzard's coding as custom programming has to be done to accomplish many tasks. However, there's not 1 private server core that is 100% custom original code thus you will find a bit of copyrighted lines of code. Sure not every line of code Blizzard used is theirs as WoW was created in C and the interface scripting is LUA but, majority you can safely assume is theirs. Also, all the textures that make up the game are owned by Blizzard as well.

I'm not actually familiar with what parts of the server were stolen, but they claim to have 100% copyright of it even if you were to write your own from scratch.

That doesn't seem legal.

That would be like Logitech saying you can't make a computer because their mouse plugs into it.

Do you understand what a 'server' does in the context of World of Warcraft?

My analogy was not only perfect, I think I came just re-reading it.

Dear Twitch Broadcaster:

The content you streamed and archived on Twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/******* was the subject of a takedown notice we received from Blizzard Entertainment pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

Any other stream get the same? I think this is fucking hilarious and sad. What a bunch of sad little bitches over at blizz.

Reckless disregard for fair use laws. This is absolutely without merit. Fair use laws allow for this. If Blizzard is activating their "trap card lawyers" this is setting not only a new low but a dangerous precedence.
