From the folks over at Virtually Blind:

“Blizzard has won its summary judgment motion against World of Warcraft bot maker MDY on copyright grounds.  Blizzard also prevailed on its tortious interference claim.  This means that liability for contributory and vicarious copyright infringement and tortious interference is completely off the table and will not go to the jury at trial in September, assuming that the parties do not settle before then. ”

Essentially what this ruling is saying is that copying a piece of software into RAM is copyright infringement! As much as I love Blizzard and WoW and hate these bot makers, this sets a bad precedent and is another example of technical cases being misjudged due to lack of technical understanding by the court.
