Another interesting aspect of the idea that the client and server are the same program comes up when the server interacts with more than one client program. So are Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo, etc. all the same program? They all connect to the same Battle.net server.

Does Blizzard also claim ownership of bots which connect to Battle.net, or are those somehow different because they are not games? What if one was part of a game?
