C’mon people. Use that stuff between your ears. MMOGlider modifies how the client works. I know alot of you are just green behind the ears kiddies, but common sense is required. Leave the anal scrutiny of the letters of the law to the lawyers. And look beyond the end of your nose, beyond your own self-serving interests.

GOOD POST, agreed..

The government is not saying what is legal and what isn’t legal to run on your computer.

IN FACT: IT is not illegal to run any program on your computer at all.

You will only face criminal charges if the program you are using is used to commit a different Crime. For Example: IF I create a program that when I activate it somebody dies, I would not be charged with “Running an illegal program”. I would be charged with “Murder”

Running Glider doesn’t break any laws. Selling Glider does break laws:

in that it loads an UNAUTHORIZED COPY of WoW.
This would be the equivalent of creating a copy of a DvD for distribution even though it is only authorized for home use.

BLIZZARD SHOULD BE COMPENSATED.
How can you say they couldn’t be? Seriously…
Because of Glider blizzard has had to cancel many players accounts. (“Well, gee der dumb dee bob they could have let the accounts exists right george?” WRONG! IF they did that then many other players would be so sick of all the bots they would quit) Either way blizzard loses out on money it would have made if not for this program.

Look at it like this: IF you had a house cleaning business in which people were contracted that everytime you cleaned their house they would pay you $100 and you had 50 clients and cleaned their house 1/month each… Normally you would make $5000 / month. Now if I went around SPECIFICALLY to ONLY your clients and convinced 20 of them to not use your services anymore you would be out $2000 / month because of my malicious intent. (OMFG You better point out every possible micro-inaccuracy in this METAPHOR)

Now… How much blizzard would be awarded based on guesses of who they banned or how much money they would have made, or if those players would have kept playing if it weren’t for the bot… None of that is up to us… its up to a JURY. that JURY will hear both MITIGATING and AGGRAVATING points from both parties and decided what they feel is the fairest amount to award blizzard.
IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS FACT then HOLY SHIT! I hope your not an American because you make a shitty one.

Finnaly:
A Virus Scan does not actually create a ‘copy’ of a program. Instead it loads a few bytes of the program at a time, compares them then unloads them from memory, it doesn’t actually “USE” the program.

For EXAMPLE: I have a program that when used tells you what day of the week Christmas falls on, and that i only allow you to use this program for that reason only. Now if you make a program that loads my program and changes it so that it will tell you what day of the week Easter falls on then you have used the copy of my program in a way that it wasn’t intended to be used.
Now the virus scan looks at my program and compares its 10101010010101 doesn’t = virus. My program isn’t actually RUN, or USED in anyway. Norton has no idea what my program even does.

USE COMMON FUCKING SENSE ppl, stop using doomsday logic and conspiracy theories to explain everything. NOBODY ON THIS EARTH is ever going to make using a virus scan illegal…. For fuck’s sake guys…
