Renowned game developer Blizzard has filed suit against a man named Michael Donnelly, the creator of a software program that allows users to automate play of the company's popular title, World of WarCraft. Blizzard is arguing that Donnelly's tool, entitled "MMO Glider," infringes on the End User License Agreement (EULA) of WoW. Donnelly contends that because the game client is not copied, it does not infringe on Blizzard's copyright. Blizzard has countered by saying that the tool actually copies the game into RAM in order to circumvent WoW's anti-cheat protection.
