'Warcraft' maker sued for blocking sales of unofficial guide

Good for Kopp.: If you provide a service that is accessible to the public, you should be prepared for public discussion including texts being created about the service.

As long as the content doesn't give an unfair advantage [such as exploits that should have been explained to the developers so they could be patched] then it is well within Kopps rights to discuss [even for profit] his experiences with WoW. And why not?

IGN has hundreds of "Guides" on their site alone, and there are dozens of others that do the same.; Posted by: TheProtector Posted on: 03/24/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
