EFF: We Support Bnetd Project
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: TotalRecall
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has stood up for the Bnetd project which allows users to log onto servers that emulate the Battle.net enviroment. The EFF is stating that the suit against Bnetd is a misuse of the DMCA:
"This is yet another example of misuse of the DMCA and copyright law," noted EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "Bnetd developers engaged in legal reverse engineering without circumvention or any illegal activity."
The DMCA has no requirement that one must include every feature of a program or system like CD-KEYS; in fact, the DMCA's "no mandate" provision states that developers of interoperable programs do not have to respond to CD-KEYS and similar technology.
The EFF actually sent a response to the letter Vivendi sent to the Bnetd project, and you can view it here. The project is still asking for help on this issue. Learn More. View the press release the EFF released here.
