Blizz can search the ram dedicated to WoW but they are not allowed to search the rest of your pc. They will receive a 500 Mill Euro Banhammer if they do it. You cant give away your right for privacy in EU. That part of the contract simply is invalid. The risk is way to high for them.
go outside enjoy your summer.
It might be their game and their rules, but their game and their rules exist in our world, Our world witch is governed by laws, Privacy laws, Consumer laws, Digital Goods (un tangible) are governed by the same laws as Tangible Goods, Even Blizzard describe Character Xfers, Mounts, Pets, Wow tokens, Race changes ect as "Digital goods", This in very basic terms mean, You own that product, That product has a very real Value in currency, 6 month suspension is as good as them Freezing Assets, And a perma ban, they are ceasing assets, There is no way its fully legal.They'll jusy bury you in files upon files, their legal fee's are nothing compared to what they'll make..
But if you have to pay a decent lawyer 500 bucks an hour, then you're gonna run out of money before you'll get a chance to goto court![]()
it's their game, their rules.
besides the fact that we consent to be searched, blizzard doesnt have to admit to searching as long as they dont use the search as their evidence for bans.
yeh, i guess i should have stated this was a US law discussion. you cant win when you take a company as big as blizzard to court. even if you win, you are still drained of resouces.

A quick a dirty example under Uk law would for example be, You going into a local high street electrical retailer, There is a sign saying you cant eat or drink in the store, So you dont, You buy a TV, some time later, you go back into the store eating or drinking, They ban you from the store.....then come too your home and take the TV back that you paid for"
All those situations deal with agreements within their companies scope.
VS scanning Memory and CPU outside the range of the game would still be illegal.
Just like if you invite an officer into your home doesn't mean they can start searching in closed boxes etc. It is based on what ever is in plain view.
Or if you sign an agreement for a rental property that states they can randomly search your home. Doesn't mean they can search your car inside the garage or start opening boxes.
but if you say "no" dosen´t make this you suspicious -> he will also search ?he has no right to search your car unless he suspects a crime. then right before you leave, he asks you 'would you mind if i looked inside your car?'
you have the right to say yes or no. if you say yes, you can search, you waive your rights to protection from illegal search and seizure. basically giving him a verbal search warrant.
but when you give consent to search, you waive those rights. most people do this freely because they have nothing to hide. blizz players do this because they heard something from a bro, that heard it from a dude, that knew a blizz employee and now they come here qtf like its nothing.
if an officer stops you. he has no right to search your car unless he suspects a crime. then right before you leave, he asks you 'would you mind if i looked inside your car?'
