Default Opinion issued, July 14.

Well, the judge ruled today and it was not good for us. He found for Blizzard on the copyright and tortious claims. I must admit, I'm rather surprised at the scope of the decision, as it seems copyright holders can now pretty much declare anyone an infringer at the stroke of a pen.

But, hey, things will likely get more focused in the days ahead. For now, here's the judge's order. Be warned that it's pretty heavy on the legalese.

What does this mean for Glider users?
I'm not sure yet, but I'll be updating in the days ahead as we figure out our options. We might appeal, we might figure out another path, any number of things could happen. Don't panic yet and we'll see what the options are.

Yes - a bit of an unforeseen set back

well lets say mdy loses this case, would blizzard demand that mdy shows the info about what customers they have, and will they do another banwave just from all ips ?

That not going to happen - its not even something I think they are that interested in. I think they want all of you to pay your monthly fees and be good
