暴雪起诉外挂公司赢得850万美元

暴雪娱乐公司在获得针对德国公司博斯兰的侵犯版权案件后，已经获得了850万美元的赔偿。

根据Torrent Freak的报道，暴雪已经成功地起诉了制作几款流行作弊程序的外挂公司。

The lawsuit began in July last year and the court has now agreed with Blizzard's claims that Bossland is responsible for causing detriment to the company by creating and distributing hacks designed for their games.

The court order states that, “Bossland materially contributes to infringement by creating the Bossland Hacks, making the Bossland Hacks available to the public, instructing users how to install and operate the Bossland Hacks, and enabling users to use the software to create derivative works,”.

The order also speaks to the harm of reputation these hacks can cause for Blizzard, acknowledging the potential for dissatisfied players when coming into contact with someone using Bossland's technology.

This, led to the court granting Blizzard's requests for $8,563,600 in damages and $174,872 in attorney's fees to be paid to the company. Additionally, Bossland is prohibited from distributing its cheats within the United States, in an attempt to prevent further damage.
