I have also been carefully watching this case... And the first thing that came to mind when I got the eff email was crap... However, it largley looks like the ruling was not on the DMCA, but on click-thru lisenses. I remember using bnetd back in the day.. it was verymuch in the same "enviroment" as eqemu is now. However, I'm not entirely sure that Sony cares (or if they do, they don't want the bad publicity), as IMHO if they did they could have done something far before now. Also, don't email, send letters. Letters are much more effective. I agree with Melwin that in all likely hood, this will go to SCOTUS, and its a good case too... Its not a "iffy" case like DECSS, there is a very clear case for legidiment use. All in all, I wouldn't worry about it for now, IMHO, but do write Blizzard, and don't by WOW.
