is there anything about making and selling the bot?
Yea I feel they can't really sue him when other people are the ones breaking the T&C. I feel blizzard is the one who doesn't have a leg to stand on here when they are suing him. All the people that bought the software are the ones breaking the rules not the guy. It's kinda like suing the guy who sold a gun to someone who killed someone with the gun: it's just silly.
Nah I disagree with you there. Guns don't have a single-minded purpose. You can target practice with them, go hunting game with them, collect them as a hobby, and I'm sure lots of other things besides shooting people with them. The software this person is selling has one purpose, and one purpose only: add functionality to World of Warcraft that the developers never intended. You can't use his software to do your taxes with, nor play a different game with, nor browse the web. I would say he had a leg to stand on if it was a framework library built to interface with any number of applications, but this is absolutely targeting one specific app. He's wrong, and the only way he'll win is if there's a loophole in the TOS that he can exploit.
