Here's another interesting article:

"Therefore, Judge Campbell concluded, MDY violated the DMCA when it evaded warden's checks."
1. You know, the same thing all of the hacks on this site do, by avoiding GameGuard and other preventative measures.

"Blizzard argued, and Judge Campbell agreed, that when users violated the World of Warcraft EULA, they no longer had a license to play the game and were therefore guilty of copyright infringement."
2. You break the EULA every time you hack any of the games on this site, enjoy your fines.

"The other question Judge Campbell considered is whether Michael Donnelly, MDY's founder and Glider's author, should be personally liable for the infringing activities of his firm. Donnelly contended that because copyright is unclear in this area, and because he believed his conduct to be legal, that he should not be personally liable for the infringing activities of his firm. Judge Campbell rejected this argument, holding that Campbell was aware of his firm's actions and should have known that they were illegal."
3. You are personally liable for the hacks you put on this site, and you can personally pay huge fines or jailtime.

Enjoy it, it's coming.The precedent has been set.
