I am sure that Blizzard are aware of what is going on. And they will always be. But probably they are making too much money to even care bout the servers. Its probably peanuts to them. Some Private servers are dedicate towards ethical gaming and provide a wonderfull past time for a lot of the younger generation, people who don earn their own living and probably end up doing drugs and other stuff without them. Just a food for thought.... Not a lot of people can spare a couple of hundred to bucks to buy games when then only get a couple of dollars a day for pocket money!
Drugs addiction as cover. Yeah, the most repetitive excuse I had ever heard. Anything new?

Well, thats your opinion.. i fully support the government for taking tough stance on piracy movies rather then softwares/games.. Just imagine, a fully blown Vista costs what? 1k? Where have the kids got that much money? I am no saying i support piracy, what i am saying is that, the choice is up to the individual and i don mind if Microsoft or any other Software house go all out to crack software piracy in Money Making Associations, as , they are making enough money to get all the original stuff.. But if you were to force everybody to buy Original... I doubt there will ever be a Bill Gates born in our country.. Cause i was fortunate enought to be give exposure at a very young age and that is what young poeple need..
And FYI, I am not an arrogant bum as you mentioned... I can afford to buy my ORI softwares ( Games in this matter ) and will do so... Depends on the software and the satisfaction it provides...
Imagine telling a 10 year old kid this " Son, you go the the national libary to read ok? I cannot buy DOTA for you? Too expensive la son "
Good luck in explaining to your son... And nobody was talking bout any gaming pc, even a pentium 3 could run games and a decent Pc, even the one which is being advertised in the landing page of this portal costs what? RM290? And Warcraft 3 costs what? Rm 200? DUH!!! Go figure dude...
Its all bout learning curve, if you don try, you can never learn.. Even playing games helps in developing your reflex and keeps your mind sharp.. and this is a proven study... If you wanna go and play football, go ahead... even that is pretty expensive nowadays dude..

Gaming is a luxury not a necessity. If you can't afford it, then do other cheaper things to past time
