How would I go about reporting a illegal "private server"?
I understand from the EULA... http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/eula.html
Q u o t e:
Subject to the license granted hereunder, you may not, in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, or create derivative works based on the Game, or remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Game. Failure to comply with the restrictions and limitations contained in this Section 4 shall result in the immediate, automatic termination of the license granted hereunder and may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
I'd rather not post the link to this private server on the forums. I understand that forum moderators can see post edits so I'm going to quickly post it and edit the URL back out again.
Is there a more appropriate way for me to be sending this information? I couldn't find a e-mail address on the website that covered this particular area.
I'm not trying to ruin other people's fun. They're honestly ruining my fun by devaluing my $15/month to play this game legally, as well as wasting blizzard resources to identify and, where necessary, prosecute offenders, along with lost income that Blizz could spend making more quality updates/changes to the game that we all are legally subscibing to and paying for.
Each of the players of this game are using legally downloaded/installed versions of Blizzard's World of Warcraft software, which means they have to click that they have read and agree to the terms and eula. They are modifying the game files which is specifically not allowed as specified in the EULA in order to connect to this private server. They know perfectly well what they're doing is illegal, and I hope they get what they deserve.
Anyway, thanks for your time and I hope I haven't rubbed too many people the wrong way.
