I couldn't post a reply to hackman2die4's thread for whatever reason, so here's this:
In the User Agreements (there where a handful) before you installed and played the game, you gave Blizzard a consent to monitor. They fairly clearly explained what that meant. That meant, as they replied to hackman2die4, that they have some kind of software packaged inside something that can read your memory. I don't recall anything about the CPU, but it's been a few months since I bought this game and read all their legal mumbo jumbo.
So is it an invasion of privacy? It would have been if we didn't all *consent* to it. But we did. It does seem though, that they're staying within the scope of D3, which is good. I've not read about anyone getting banned, then Goofy and Donald Duck showing up a few hours later to break their knee caps for downloading a Disney WW2 propaganda film. So props for not being extreme D-bags.
So I pose this question: Has anyone with more technical skill than myself looked at the monitoring code specifically and found a way to block it's effectiveness without altering the code itself? (Another violation of the user agreements/terms of use.) Be it spoofing what the Blizzardian Gestapo sees on their end if they look or otherwise?
I understood the risks when I got the Demon Buddy, so if I get banned - that's just how it goes. However, if any picking of brains or labor on my end can help avoid that, I'll certainly jump on it.
