Legality on banning on dupe hack?

[kamille]

Stop the guessin why they could and if it was legit or whatever.

READ THIS OFFICAL STATEMENT FROM BLIZZARD: (sry for the caps)


Diablo II Accounts Closed | 12/4/2003 1:49:51 AM GMTST

Yesterday, a number of Diablo II accounts were involved with separate attempts to exploit a Battle.net bug; these actions caused game servers to crash on multiple occasions. We took all the servers offline around 7:00 pm PST last night to fix the bug, then brought them back up again at 10:00 pm PST.

In keeping with our aggressive stance against cheating on Battle.net, we have closed the 800+ involved Diablo II accounts. Furthermore, the copies of Diablo II that were used to attack the servers in this manner have been banned from Diablo II Realm play. (See the Realms section of the Arreat Summit's FAQ to review Diablo II's multiplayer options.) Deliberately crashing a server could be considered a denial of service attack and could therefore be cause for legal action under state and federal law.

We sincerely appreciate the Diablo II community's help in identifying any attempts to cheat on Battle.net. To report such incidents, please send an email to hacks@blizzard.com. A false report filed by one player against another will not result in the actions described above.

Ill just post something from in there people might skim over



"Deliberately crashing a server could be considered a denial of service attack and could therefore be cause for legal action under state and federal law"

when you agree to create an account it states "We resurv the right to terminate any account/cdkey at no warning" or something of that nature

Um you better read again, in the Agreeing part it does say you cannot create dupes/copies of items. Read dangit, read, you are wrong, they can ban you for duping or attempting to dupe. Also, the duping caused the server to crash and such and that is also mentioned in there as abannable offense. AHA!

 

[mr-sumone]

also it says that ur items, accounts, and characters are bnets property... one has the right to destroy one owns property... if u brought this to court the judge would look u in the face and laugh... bnets property= bnet can destroy anytime it wants

btw i was on the dupers side for a while... but then i read up on it and even tho i hate what im fixing to say... bnet has the right to do that and they were right...ouch im gonna slap myself now

 

[Tiesto]

OMG did you guys not read the whole thing? number 3 letter C part V


(v) utilize "Duplicated Characters" and/or "Duplicated
Items" on Battle.net, including, but not limited to,
weapons, armor, rings, amulets, stones, staves, etc., that
were created by exploiting a slow connection or "lag,"
programming error, or any other manner that allows You to
utilize "Duplicate Characters" and/or "Duplicate Items" on
the Battle.net service. In the event that Blizzard discovers
that You are utilizing such characters and/or items on
Battle.net, You hereby acknowledge that Blizzard may, at its
sole discretion, delete such characters and/or items from
your account on Battle.net.

Now if you got banned STOP YOUR B*TCHING

 

[SkaDude]

Definitely read the terms of use when creating an account. It states that they can ban their cd key for violation of any guidelines set forth before it. Read and weep....BUT! blizzard had muted 2 characters to where they cant be used because of containing the word 'fuk' It says that they will delete or modify 'information' not limiting to characters, profiles etc. I dont think my character is information but my name is.
