Some companies create ineffective anti-cheat systems, and others do that, and then sue the people making the cheats. The latter is Blizzard, and are taking three men - "Permaphrost," "Cranix," and "Linuxawesome" - to court for the creation of StarCraft II cheats. Blizzard is accusing the men of "multiple counts of copyright infringement", aiming to acquire damages and a cut of the money made from the sale of those cheats. The hackers might also have to take the fall for everyone running the cheats, who are now unknowingly infringing upon Blizzard's copyright; "When users of the Hacks download, install, and use the Hacks, they copy StarCraft II copyrighted content into their computer's RAM in excess of the scope of their limited licence, as set forth in the EULA and ToU, and create derivative works of StarCraft II."
This would be a fantastic precedent to have set, a huge win for both developers and honest gamers alike. Fingers crossed for legal victory.
