Joy, the DCMA. I do dislike that thing.

I'm guessing the "anti-circumvention technology" they're talking about is their login server. It would technically be right if it went to court. Hopefully Blizzard won't get too hardcore about shutting the servers down though.

The funny thing is, they could knock out 90% of the servers out there by just hard coding the realm list into the exe. Then you'd *have* to edit the exe to play, which would violate the EULA, possibly be illegal, yadda yadda.

Easy way around that, depending on coding and how they place it a fix could be made between 1 and 5 hours without client modification in anyway, though how many server would want or have the ability to create this i do not know.

but i believe if this happened the den would easily carry on working.
