      A nice little quotation from Travis Briggs and Eric Mill for you. both software developers in the U.S.

      Have you heard of the Eldred v Ashcroft case and the so-called "Mickey Mouse" law? The latter is the piece of legislation, passed in 1998, which retroactively extended copyright in the US by 20 years and thus effectively prevented Mickey Mouse from entering the public domain. Eldred v Ashcroft, meanwhile, is the case in which the Supreme Court ruled that this did not violate Congress's mandate in the Constitution to allow copyrights "for limited Times". It turns out that the original idea of copyright was the same as patents: to provided a limited monopoly for the creator of a work. After the time of that monopoly was over, the work would enter the public domain. But for some reason, no creative work made since 1923 -- 1923! I don't even have any living relatives who were alive back then -- has entered the public domain.

      In case that didn't sway you how about a quote from Thomas Jefferson?

      "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."

      — Thomas Jefferson


      In short. The law regarding copyright in the U.S. sucks. You happen to live in a state where the legal system in this area is far from fair. I'm so sorry if this negative assessment of your country offends your National pride but rest assured I don't hate the population because of flaws in the establishment. I do despise people who defend the indefensible and refuse to challenge the unjust though.

      Some info upon WHAT they have sued Bossland GMBH for would be nice.

      Is it copyright infraction ?

      Is it "avoiding" warden ?

      I was wondering if the HB/GB team already knows what they are up against?
      Have you been able to read on what grounds Blizzard is charging you?

      Thanks.. Was getting a bit sick of people fighting over copyright infringements and what does or does not fall under German law, while nobody still knows what it actually is that is over the heads of the GB/HB team..
      I wish you all the best of luck in fighting the powerhouse that is Blizzard!

      As stated in my post "fucked up american tossers". If you consider yourself one of those then you should be offended. I didn't make a statement regarding the general American public just those ones specifically. Kudos to cowabunga69.

      It's been like 15 days(on the 16th) since the announcement was made about the lawsuit.

      Kinda wierd that the legalsystem is THIS slow and the defendants are clueless what this is about.

      A decision about permanently closing down the nuclearpowered electricity production in Germany was made in a couple of weeks.

      Really strange country.

      A nuclear powered electric generator being shutdown is obviously a much bigger deal than a gaming company sue'ing a bot. Priorities.

      You don't get the point.

      When some1 is being sued the information should reach the defendant pretty fast.

      Something is very wrong when it takes 3 weeks to print and send some papers.

      Yes the BATTLES can take years but that's not what i'm referring to.

      Anyway .... i Hope HB has a strong case against the cowards at Blizz.

      can't make good antich-e-ats so they go to court.......

      lol. is c.h.e.a.t a bad word ?

      No country as a whole is evil. All of them are filled with good people and not so good people

      A few years ago I'd have said German beer was the best too. Then I got lost in a monastery in Belgium and discovered Trappist. Don't be offended you're from the South and everyone knows Germany's most famous Beer is from Bremen :) Maybe that's why Bossland and the rest of guys decided to have a base nearby in Hamburg?

      Worst thing in america is patent system, they can patent patenting. Yo dawg i heard you like patents, so we patended making patents.
      You should check out microsoft+oracle+apple suing android system because it is such a win system, if you are not successful in america sue your competitors!
      If you try this kind of BS in eu, you will get fined by EU for trying to be monopol.
