It’s not a tricky issue at all, as it is Blizzard’s game and property and they can do whatever they want with it. Vanilla WoW is as much Blizzard’s game as the current WoW is. The creator of a property has the right to use or not use its property in the way it sees fit.

This sums up how I feel about these jerkwads. While I think copyright law as it is right now needs a lot of tweaking ie: I hate perpetual ownership like Mickey Mouse, Superman, etc because it makes companies unwilling to innovate and create new characters.

In any case, Blizzard’s WoW assets haven’t even reached the 15…

“Putting blizzard on notice” was stupid and pointless. Blizzard went out of their way BEFORE blizzcon to say that they wouldn’t be discussing it there because they weren’t ready yet.
