MDY and Glider: finally over

Posted by Dan on October 4, 2008

Well, not completely over. Blizzard has won a $6 million damages award (less than they expected) against MDY Industries, makers of the WoWGlider/MMOGlider bot software.  But there are still some questions remaining open:  whether MDY broke the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the creator of the Glider software will have to pay the damages from his own pocket. Scorecard: Blizzard — 3, MDY — 1 (they get a point for significantly lessening the awardable damages against them via timely admissions, and beating Blizzard on some key arguments).
