I wrote a Ticket to Blizzard and got a shocking answer. It is written in German so please who can speak German translate the whole Text.
It is just basically saying that it reads out your RAM and CPU for suspecious programms. This Information might also be usefull for the developers.
Some might ask why dont you translate it?---> No Time. Thats why I was running a bot.

Here is the message:(I cut off all things that are only regarding me)

W?hrend der Diablo III (der Client) ausgef?hrt wird, kann der Client den Arbeitsspeicher (RAM) Ihres Computers und / oder die CPU Ihres Computers nach nichtautorisierter Drittanbietersoftware scannen, die zeitgleich mit Diablo III ausgef?hrt wird. Dar?ber hinaus wird der Client das Spielinstallationsverzeichnis scannen, um sicherzustellen, dass nur nicht-gehackte Originalsoftware verwendet wird. Der einzige Zweck dieses Scanvorgangs ist es, sicherzustellen, dass unsere Spieler in einer cheat-freien Umgebung spielen. Die Bezeichnung nichtautorisierte Drittanbietersoftware, wie sie hier verwendet wird, bezieht sich auf jegliche Drittanbietersoftware inklusiver s?mtlicher Add-Ons oder Mods, die im eigenen Ermessen von Blizzard Entertainment :

I. Cheaten erm?glichen oder erleichtern;
II. es Spielern erm?glichen, das Diablo III Interface auf eine Art und Weise zu modifizieren oder zu hacken, die von Blizzard Entertainment nicht ausdr?cklich erlaubt ist; oder die
III. Informationen aus oder in Diablo III abfangen, abbauen oder auf andere Weise sammeln.

Im Fall, dass der Client eine nichtautorisierte Drittanbietersoftware entdeckt, kann der Client die folgenden Informationen an Blizzard Entertainment weiterleiten :

a) Details zu der unautorisierten Drittanbietersoftware;
b) Zeitpunkt und Datum, zu dem die unautorisierte Drittanbietersoftware entdeckt wurde;
c) Ihre IP-Adresse; und
d) Identifikationsnummern von PC-Komponenten, z.B. Festplatten, Hauptprozessor und Betriebssystem.

Die Nutzung derartiger Software oder Dateien ist ohne Frage sehr unfair gegen?ber der regul?r spielenden Diablo III Gemeinschaft und wird auf unseren Servern nicht geduldet.



Thank you very much for this amazing community.

I am outta here
 
Google translate makes sense:

Runs during the Diablo III (the client), the client can access memory (RAM) on your computer and / or your computer's CPU scan for non-authorized third-party software that runs concurrently with Diablo III. Additionally, the client will scan the game installation directory, to ensure that only non-hacked original software is used. The sole purpose of this scan is to ensure that our players are playing in a cheat-free environment. The term non-authorized third-party software, as used herein, refers to any third party software inclusive of all add-ons or mods at their discretion of Blizzard Entertainment

I allow or facilitate cheating;
II allow players to modify the Diablo III interface to a way or hack that is not expressly permitted by Blizzard Entertainment, or the
III. Intercept information from or in Diablo III, mine or otherwise collect.

In the event that the client discovers an unauthorized third-party software, the client can forward the following information to Blizzard Entertainment:

a) details about the unauthorized third-party software;
b) the time and date on which the unauthorized third-party software has been discovered;
c) your IP address, and
d) identification numbers of PC components, eg Hard drives, CPU and operating system.

The use of such software or files is without question very unfair to the regular playing Diablo III community and will not be tolerated on our servers.
 
It basically says that while running Diablo III it can scan the RAM for unauthorised 3rd party applications. If the D3-Client should detect something "unwanted" in the RAM it will forward the following informations to Blizzard:
a) details about detected 3rd-party application
b) date and time of detection
c) IP-adress
d) identification-numbers of computer-components such as hard-disk, cpu, operating system
 
I actually thought that since 2008 and that method had been illegal :S
 
standard message, just in german. Posted in english several times.

Same way hackers and programmers have always. Study it and figure out something new. There is no end. Somebody will always figure out a counter-punch

The stuff above would be good for AutoIT or other tools that aren't hiding from warden.

This whole "scanning ram" is sort of a silly way of describing what warden does. It makes it sound more powerful than it is.

REMEMBER - the diablo (and warden) process run as a USER. The DB process effectively runs as Admin (SYSTEM). This is nothing new.

If blizzard decided that D3 requires admin privs ro run DB would be in a world of hurt. Of course, that will never happen... needing admin to run a game is ludicrous.

cell phone companies, facebook / myspace / etc, and almost all other corporations with privy to your info dont care to break the rules when it comes to privacy so why would blizzard? at least blizzard isnt selling the information gathered for profit w/o care of those involved but instead defending itself.

they scan ram and directory for 3rd party software and nothing else to solely protect them , their game, and their community. i think that'd be pretty hard to beat.

we are losing more and more rights everyday, and from how little this 1 is in comparison to the others.... i dont think anyone in america would even care anymore or very few.

Thats not true, and they will never risk it due to privacy laws in the EU

its a vell known template been posted here few times in english language
 
So why would they bite them in their own tail with sending those messages to users?
Why should I lie and say to someone that I killed someone If I didnt?<---- I know very hard example...

damn my right to bot is gone. thats it, im gonna start me a revolution
 
Yep this message is real... and why would they send it if it is illegal to do so in the first place. Doesn't make sense, unless they legaly bypass the EU regulations somehow and do scan the RAM. If that is the situation, it's very very bad for us.
 
One thing people do not understand is international laws governing gaming and other online activity. See Blizzard has there main office out of California and that is governed by US law the game is from a US company ( even though blizzard is owned by a korean company it is by laterally split in 2 parts ) there for ALL US laws apply to the game and every single country around the world with the exception for china will uphold it. That is also the reason China has there own client with there own rules on it approved by the Chinese government for sale in china.

In lamen terms, YOU ARE FUCKED on trying to fight it. Also the supreme court in the case of Blizzard vs WOWGlider ruled that it had the right to scan ANY files that the game uses to function IE Ram, Memory, CPU, ect to protect the intellectual property rights of there game. Should see the law suit Blizzard filed vs the StarCraft 2 hackers. They go in to detail about using Memory to display map hacks that assesses unauthorized and trademarked secret game information and the court accepted it as such.

Yes however it's still an European owned business, Any region or country you have a game in, e.g EU of D3/WOW they have to follow that countries law too.
