Alex Ziebart summed it up pretty well I think.

QUOTE (Alex Ziebart @ WoWInsider)
Personally though, I feel like MDY Industries just got what was coming to them. They broke WoW's Terms of Service, enabled thousands of others to do the same, and they cast the first stone when it came to the lawsuits. They were pretty much begging Blizzard to crush them underfoot. They were doing a jig around the room singing, "You can't touch me, you can't touch me!" and then Blizzard backhanded them across the face.

yeah. my 0.02 is...fair use for a single player game and fair use for an MMO are very different things. there are many many examples of things in normal life that are legal if you do them privately or in a way that doesn't impact others, but illegal if you do them in public or in a way that impacts other people. examples: urinating, being drunk, being loud, having sex, having gay sex, having loud drunk gay urinating sex, etc etc etc.

Hopefully some gaming-savvy judges can make this line a bit clearer, protecting both fair use and also the expectation of fair play in a multiplayer environment
