[s]blizzard[/s]Vivendi, slowly but surely in its insatiable misguided greed to protect its hard earned captive consumer market of Battle.net gamers (yes us!) is still legally pursuing their fight against the makers of ‘the free bnetd software that emulates Blizzard's free Battle.net gaming service.’

» studying law by all means have an orgy. Here is a .pdf document with a summary of the legal battle that ‘Battle’.net is waging against the poor folks at BNETD.

Tim Jung, Ross Combs and Rob Crittenden, owners of Internet Gateway Inc, are the makers of BNETD software are the poor folks under litigation with Vivendi.

Also the fact that Blizzard has not won their case and it looks like they may actually lose it completely is the reason why we are able to run Stargate without much harassment from Blizzard, yet!
