Tell it to the court that found in favour of Blizzard over that World of Warcraft bot case. :(

The thing is, that WoW Bot case wasn't (arguably) covered by this, because the in-ram copy he
made (to hack on?) wasn't "essential to the operation of the computer program". 

I'm not familiar with the technical details of the case, so I'm speculating more than I
normally do.  :)
