dbpprop:abstract
  • Glider is a bot which interoperates with the World of Warcraft. As of 2008, it has sold approximately 100,000 copies. Glider is meant to automate and simplify actions by the user of the software within the World of Warcraft environment through the use of extensive scripting. While the makers of the software assert that the software is meant to overcome design flaws in the World of Warcraft environment, Blizzard contended in a 2006 United States federal lawsuit that the program was designed for users of to circumvent their terms of service. In July 2008, the court entered summary judgment holding Glider's creators liable for tortious interference and copyright infringement, based, in part, upon the legal premise that users of the World of Warcraft client software are licensees rather than owners of their copy of software. Public Knowledge, a public interest group which filed an amicus brief in the case, criticized the decision, saying it makes the loading into memory of legally obtained software an act of copyright infringement subject to high statutory penalties, if the user has violated the software's license agreement in any way. The court did not hold this view and found that Glider infringed upon Blizzard's intellectual property by making an illicit copy of the World of Warcraft client in order to avoid Blizzard's anti-cheating software, Warden. In finding this, the court agreed with Blizzard that World of Warcraft is licensed, not sold. Following the judgment, Blizzard has pressed to enjoin MDY from distributing Glider freely as free software. MDY plans to appeal the judgment in its entirety.
  • MMOGlider (oftast bara kallat Glider) är en programvara som används i syftet att automatisera spelandet av det populära MMORPG:et "World of Warcraft". MMOGlider hette tidigare WoWGlider, men på grund av en rättstvist med Blizzard Entertainment så bytte de namn. Programmet använder bland annat s.k. "waypoints" och diverse tekniker för att automatiskt skicka runt karaktären i världen och utföra enkla uppgifter, såsom att döda NPCs eller samla ihop pengar. Att använda programmet strider mot World Of Warcrafts Terms of Service. Blir man upptäckt när man använder det kan man bli bannad.
