When Blizzard went after Glider, they claimed copyright, too. It was because Glider loaded the game itself to keep the WoW game client from detecting that Glider was reading and writing to its memory. Loading a copy of an application into memory on your own computer without the vendor's approval is now a copyright violation in court.
- keefe 17y agoI'm not sure they so much loaded the game as deliberately circumvented the Warden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warden_(software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warden_(software) to copy portions of the WoW memory space (locations of toons, etc) into their own address space... but I think they were busted more on violation of the DMCA for writing code to circumvent warden
