  The question is, how is installing a third-party tool copyright infringement if it doesn't use Blizzard's code? This is where things get dicey. In a filing, Blizzard quotes a section from its EULA that says that "All connections to the Game and/or the Service, whether created by the Game Client or by other tools and utilities, may only be made through methods and means expressly approved by Blizzard." In other words, you're only allowed to play WoW using Blizzard-approved software.

  Blizzard želi proširiti shvaćanje autorskog prava da ono pokriva i kopiranje programa u radnu memoriju radi njegovog izvršavanja. To je dakako loše i, nadajmo se, neće im proći, jer bi bio opasan presedan. No, ostavimo li pitanje autorskog prava postrani, zanimljivo je iz perspektive normi problem izigravanja pravila neke igre - mora li se igra prilagođavati ili se mora naći načina (pravnim ili drugim sredstvima) da se isključi izigravatelja. A što ako to tehnički, u dani okvirma zakonske "arhitekture" tehnologije nije moguće?
