The existance of a market does not justify inaction in the face of illegality. There's a market for everything, right down to the most debased and inhuman things you can think of. It doesn't mean we shouldn't stop people from engaging in said activity because people have done it before and will do it again.
So how about fair use laws? And other cases that have ruled that disassembling a program and leaving a copy in ram to ensure compatabilitys ect (anti virus is a big one) is a LEGAL practice. How about Apple trying to sue for people jailbreaking a iphone? Lets say you bought a program and no longer need it, but you cant do anything with it ! Because it was a "leased" copy. I think your focus is just on wow, and not the overall legal issues that are already arising due to the mdy vs. blizzard case. It will be a scary day when a Terms of Use, is now plain law. What if microsoft said no more use of fire fox or its a violation of their operating systems terms of use ? Now by downloading and browsing your breaking your terms of use, violating DMC laws, and lost your windows copy! What is really illegal about botting (and this is NOT, a discussion about terms of use botting wow is wrong by their tems of use and will get you banned. ) im talking Crimnal law. How many people do you think have ever been put in jail for hacking their xbox, or using a game genie with their Nintendo... i mean come on seriously ?? is this what we are going to let our legal systems get to?
