I don't agree. bnetd used absolutely NO CODE of Blizzard's to create a battle.net server emulator. Yes, it enabled piracy. The sad truth is that ANY commercial software will be pirated.
bnetd should live on today. If common people like you and I are not allowed to create software that interacts and connects with *gasp* proprietary software, then what kind of world is that? The world we have today apparently, where Mozilla Firefox cannot connect to IIS running ASP. Oh wait, that's entirely possible and legal. Weird...
The last game I bought from Blizzard was the the Starcraft: Broodwar expansion and it will be staying that way.
