Blizzard and Vivendi have recently filed a case against MDY Industries – the folks responsible for wowglider.com – and Michael Donnelly in the state of Arizona, USA. It is reported that Blizzard is seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages against MDY.

Basically, Blizzard is legally requesting Michael Donnelly to stop the production of WoW Glider and they want him to pay damages. Blizzard believes that Glider infringes on their intellectual property as the Glider allows players to cheat, and thus giving a portion of their gaming population an unfair advantage. Blizzard also believes that Glider encourages Blizzard customers to breach their contracts for playing the game. Their last claim is that Glider is designed to circumvent copyright protections.

Some Glider users contend that Glider is not exactly a cheat program as it does not allow you to dupe items or make things show up out of thin air. They say that the only thing that Glider does is that it allows the character to be played 24 hours straight, something that normal humans can't do.

Blizzard is also seeking for ownership of the domain www.wowglider.com, the source code for Glider, all of Donnelly's copies of WoW, and of course money.

If you wish to get more information about wowglider.com's side of the argument, feel free to use our "Read" link below. The link should lead to several PDF files regarding WoWglider's answer and counter claims.

We'll update you as soon as more information on this case is made public.
