Is this legal?

I was searching eBay and i came across this:

Click Here

I emailed the guy asking him if he had permission from Zoid and Mousepad to be selling their material and this is what he said:

"LOL. All Battle.net hacks are "illegal". None of these guys can do ANYTHING about this auction... Please try...

*YOU GUYS ARE ALL JOKES*"

You guys can try contacting him... should this be brought to Zoid's and Mousepad's attention?

Its illegal to sell some1 stuff without there permission, as z0id/other ppl is the creator of it, he probably could sue them.

[Kantot]

hahahah i wonder wat loser will bid on that

 

[xjMaN88lx]

yo i didnt post it some dude did.. cant he be sued?

 

[Ntrik_]

why would he? ppl bought off mh b4, so why should he be sued?

 

[Ghist]

It´s ****ing stupid to sell program/modules made by others and without permission.

And it´s illegal if even one of the creators will state that those are only for educational purposes.

LOL that's just plain stupid.....Hell, I could design a d2 Sellling store in about an hour if I needed to- that's not hard. And he's charging 150.00 EXTRA?!!??! What a dumbshit.

 

[xjMaN88lx]

that doesnt answer my question.. the guy basically dared me to get his ass in trouble.. is there a way?

 

[Kao]

Go report that guy to Zoid/MH Creators, see if they do anything. If anything, it's a copyright infrigement- which is fraud.

And not only that but reading the Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 LoD terms of agreement, it is against that pact/contract to run or use any programs not allowed so by the realm. I.E. hacks/mh/pindlebots ect.

They wouldn't be able to sue b/c what they did was illegal in the first place technically if used on closed realms. They could sue for copyright infringement and such, but only if they market that the programs are for use on open b.net and single player games.

 

[Stryder]

Still it reminds, he selling a program NOT HIS.

alright, let me make it clear for u

-is it legal to sell copyrighted or other ppl's product?
--> dun think so

-is it legal to make hacks?
--> dun think so

 

[xjMaN88lx]

These hacks are NOT legally copyrighted. Mousepad Maphack©2003-2004... what a joke.

Like I said, PROVE IT.

CONTACT THEM.

CRY PLEASE

^^ thats what he just wrote to me

 

[Kantot]

just tell mousepad and zoid and watever else is there about the auction they'll probably do something about it

 

[xjMaN88lx]

just emailed them ill keep u guys updated

 

[Cert]

just because something is not legally copyrighted doesnt mean that it cant be copyrighted. as long as you put 'copyright 2004' it is legally binding that it is copyrighted, even if you dont put the copyright you can still sue ppl for using your own creations.

making a hack for a game is legal, but using the hack isnt.
