Scapegaming posts

There's an old saying: "Don't mess with Texas." In this story's case the saying could be changed to, "Don't mess with Azeroth." Last week Blizzard Entertainment scored a lawsuit win against a party accused of running third party servers for Blizzard's hit MMO World of Warcraft.

Last October Blizzard filed a lawsuit against a company called Scapegaming, claiming it had set up its own private World of Warcraft servers which is a huge violation of the game's End User Licening agreement. A judge found in favor of Blizzard and awarded the company a total of $88,594,589 in statutory damages, inappropriate profits and attorney's fees. It's currently unknown if Scapegaming will appeal the amount of the award.
