New submitter gamersunited writes with news of Blizzard Entertainment's defeat of another company that created bot software to automate World of Warcraft characters. Ceiling Fan Software faces a judgment of $7 million, and must disable any active licenses for the software. They're also forbidden from transferring or open-sourcing the bot software, and from facilitating its continued use in any way. The court order (PDF) follows more than two years of legal wrangling. Blizzard won a similar judgment a few years ago against another bot company called MDY Industries, which created the popular Glider bot. http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Blizzard+Wins+Legal+Battle+Against+WoW +Bot+Company%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1fDEwCn) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F10%2F16%2F2128251%2Fblizzard-wins-legal-battle-against-wow-bot-company%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/10/16/2128251/blizzard-wins-legal-battle-against-wow-bot-company?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
