"Recently, we have received an increasing amount of feedback from our customers in regard to the probable copyright infringement of Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft, Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition, Warcraft III and World of Warcraft products (each, a "Program") on the Internet. We here at Blizzard share the concerns that many gamers are voicing. In this regard, we have contacted one of your users in connection with the aforementioned site and the infringement of Blizzard intellectual property."
As far as my knowledge extends, to be able to sue for monetary compensation copyright infringement, they need to provide tangible evidence that the activities of the defendant damaged their sales or interfered with their revenue making process. They'd be pretty hard pressed to do this.
"Please note that all title, ownership, and intellectual property rights in and to each Program and any and all copies thereof (including, but not limited to, any titles, computer code, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialog, catch phrases, locations, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, methods of operation, any related documentation, and "applets" incorporated into a Program) are owned by Blizzard Entertainment or its licensors. Each Program is protected by the trademark and copyright laws of the United States, international copyright treaties and conventions, and other laws. Blizzard reserves all rights in each Program, except those rights granted by Blizzard in writing. Each Program contains certain licensed materials, and Blizzard ’s licensors may protect their rights or rely on Blizzard to protect those rights in the event of any violation of the end user license agreement and copyright law."
How very nice. Unfortunately, there are a lot of loopholes that can be taken when reproducing said content. For example, freedom to parody works (ie. the reason mad magazine can function without a lawsuit every 5 minutes). Just because you have a certain work doesn't make you the owner of every hushed word about it. Also, this site, as far as I know, is not bound to any NDA or agreements with Blizzard.
"As part of our effort to protect all proprietary rights related to Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft, Warcraft, Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition, Warcraft III and World of Warcraft, we would like you to promptly remove all materials infringing on and/or all materials which allow others to infringe on the copyrights and/or trademarks of Blizzard Entertainment ’s products from the aforementioned site which you host or disable access to such site. This includes any unauthorized software, artwork, images, sounds or derivative works thereof that may be on the aforementioned site. Additionally, we would appreciate it if you would communicate this request to those individuals involved in the creation and maintenance of your web site."
Blah blah blah.
"Please be advised that at this time you have forty eight (48) hours in which to comply with our request otherwise we will be forced to pursue formal action. We would like to thank you in advance for choosing to work with us in a unified effort to promote the integrity of our games and the well being of our online gaming community."
Oh no! Formal ficticious action against your site!
Come on guys, don't cave in just because Mr. Lionel Hutz over at "I can't believe it's not a law firm" copy and pasted some text in an email to your admin. Actually, I think I learned something about this behavior. Please find enclosed one email to your admin demanding you transfer ownership of your car immediately to me due to violations of the "internal road acquisitive pact"; I expect your vehicle to be mine within 48 hours, or my lawyer will proceed dancing semi-naked and drunk on your front lawn.
