Blizzard Legal Team Sues 12-Year-Old for Running WoW Private Server in Mom’s Basement
In a shocking turn of events, Blizzard’s legal team has set their sights on a 12-year-old boy who was caught running a World of Warcraft private server in his mom’s basement.
According to sources close to the situation, young Timmy Jenkins was just trying to have some fun with his friends when he set up the private server, unaware of the legal ramifications that would follow.
Blizzard’s legal team wasted no time in sending a cease and desist letter to Timmy’s mom, demanding that the server be shut down immediately or face legal action.
When reached for comment, Timmy’s mom stated, “I had no idea Timmy was doing this! He told me he was just playing video games with his friends, not violating intellectual property laws.”
This incident has sparked a debate in the WoW community about the ethics of running private servers and the heavy-handed tactics of Blizzard’s legal team.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear: even a 12-year-old boy is not safe from the long arm of Blizzard’s legal team.
