Korea Fair will clearly point out blizzard battle Net Overlord clause

Previously reported the blizzard network for too restrictive user rights or by the South Korean authorities to sanction the news. Recently, the South Korean Fair Trade Commission made clear that blizzard in the terms of the War Network has unfair agreement provisions.　　In this respect, Blizzard has begun to change the network agreement after receiving the news.　　South Korea's Fair Trade association recently announced that Blizzard Entertainment needs to modify or remove at least 17 terms of the agreement that users use the Battle.net network.　　South Korea's Fair Trade Commission, which made the decision 18th this month, says Blizzard needs to revise the 17 terms of the Battle.net user's use of the agreement, which may compromise the fairness of the transaction, given the user's right to know and satisfaction.　　They argue that in the agreement Blizzard avoided the responsibility of being a game developer and unfairly demanded that users be subject to certain provisions, even to some extent infringing on the legitimate rights of users. They further argue that because users are less skilled than developers, playing in the protocol is weak, of course, now gamers rarely realize this, they will not give up the game because some rights have been compromised, but require the game to increase user satisfaction.　　So creating the satisfaction of the user as much as possible is the focus of the agreement debate. "I hope we can make this decision to reduce the game after the release of the user due to unfair trade damage." In particular, it is hoped that by amending the terms of the agreement, Blizzard can enhance the protection of users ' own content. "The following is a fair deal by the Korea Fair Trade Commission, which excludes users from creating their own game content," he said. • Blizzard claims that all users ' ownership of the game's content belongs to Blizzard Entertainment. • Require blizzard to revise the wording of the agreement　　For example, the game developers can only use the game users to create content to promote the game and provide users with good service, and the user's own content outside the game is completely owned by the player. Note: User-created content refers to a game-related work created by the player in or outside the game. User-created content includes game replays, user-defined map and so on. All of these are used in game models and background music, so they are considered part of the game.　　And the outside of the game is to point out the content of the game itself, including the player in the Forum published related game discussion stickers. The following is the legal basis for this decision by the Korea Fair Trade Commission: The law: According to copyright law, creators have ownership of their creations. If the user creates the original content of the game is recognized by copyright protection Law, then there is no doubt that this will be owned by users, especially such as forum articles, such as the content of the game program. The ownership of the self-created content, which is closely associated with the game itself, is based on the degree of dependence on the game program and specific analysis. Although the game copyright is undisputed to developers all, but those with the game of the user's own contentRights vary depending on the content. Note: If the player's work has a strong originality, then the terms of the former blizzard is violated the provisions of the copyright protection Law, because he overbearing all user-generated content to the game developers name.　　And in fact the player has the power to have the content.　　Blizzard has ruled out the ownership of his own network account, claiming that all bn accounts and props are ultimately owned by Blizzard Entertainment.　　Note: User account refers to the game includes user game ID, role and other users to play the necessary information, if disabled or deleted, the player will not be able to play.　　And game equipment refers to the players can be used online to enhance the performance of the role of the game tool. Requirements: Blizzard has changed the terms of the above agreement to give the player more clarity in the management and use of his account.　　And, if the user's account is lost or stolen, the user has the right to require blizzard to provide legal protection and support. Legal basis: Blizzard Entertainment and users signed the BN Use agreement is the scope of the game User agreement, so Blizzard has the obligation to the player's account and other virtual game property to make explicit provisions, and have the obligation to protect the player in the game's legal property. The situation now is that Blizzard simply claims that the player owns all the virtual items in the game. In this case, if the user's game account is illegally deprived, then they will not be able to get any legal aid for Blizzard Entertainment.　　Worse, this provides an excuse for game developers to ignore their users ' complaints with the user from the start with no ownership of the game account. Third, unfair suspension of service.　　Blizzard declared in the agreement that it had the right to shut down the game server unilaterally for necessary reasons, if it had notified the user.　　Requirements: Even in the case of prior notice to the user, Blizzard should improve such overlord terms, so that users better in advance of the server maintenance information and should be due to the loss of the player to provide a certain compensation. Legal basis: The act of shutting down a game server is similar to the act of suspending the execution of a legal agreement, so it is only necessary to terminate the operation of the server. And operators must inform gamers beforehand and compensate them for their losses.　　So the original agreement that Blizzard can unilaterally for any reason at any time to shut down the server clause is obviously unfair.　　There is no clear stipulation on the obligations and responsibilities of the developer in the agreement.　　Blizzard Entertainment claims that the player's loss in the game is purely personal, that it has nothing to do with blizzard, and that Blizzard has no responsibility to compensate.　　Requirements: Change these terms to make blizzard more accountable to the player. Legal basis: The game operators are obligated to the game player information loss responsibility, to ensure the player's information security, server stability, and the normal operation of the game program. If the game doesn't work, then the game developer is responsible for this, unless it is due to the player's own improper operation. No previous game termsClearly stipulates that the game developers should bear the relevant legal liability, and the loss of the game unilaterally passed to the player himself, which is obviously unfair. After receiving advice from South Korea's Fair Trade Commission, Blizzard Entertainment has begun to revise the terms of the Battle.net agreement, which is considered unfair, at 17th this month.
