Warcraft Plug-in glider violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act will be banned sealed

The Nineth Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States, said the full automatic plug-in glider program violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and announced the maintenance of its lower courts in 2009 to prohibit the spread of this plug-in procedure. Glider by a Warcraft player Michael Donnelly, can be used to help players through the plug-in automatic play the long upgrade process.　　It is reported that since 2008, MDY Team Company sold glider cumulative has reached 120,000, and the court's information also shows that before the sanctions, glider is "World of Warcraft," one of the most popular plug. Blizzard also said that glider violated the terms of the World of Warcraft service, and for the players did not use the plug-in is very unfair.　　And this plug-in also makes Blizzard from the player's hands to collect the point card/monthly card costs have been reduced. The court also said that glider's evasion of the blizzard's anti-detection mechanism violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a "circumvention of technical safeguards".　　But another blizzard claim that glider's code for "World of Warcraft" constitutes copyright infringement is not tenable. Blizzard reported Michael Donnelly to court in 2006, and the court ruled in 2008 that the defendant had paid 6 million dollars for blizzard.　　At present, Donnelly's acting attorney says he will consider continuing to appeal to the Supreme Court. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, a product or service that avoids technical measures designed to protect copyrighted material would constitute a criminal or civil offence. According to the bill, RealNetworks's DVD copy software was blocked, and a Californian man faced criminal charges for engaging in an Xbox hacking business.
