I'll second this. The *ONLY* way I've ever played Starcraft as a bonding father/son/son moment playing on a local LAN with 3 computers. I have no interest in anonymous play and it seems this usage will be unavailable. We own three copies of the same so this is not about needing the same license represented multiple times but, as the parent comment noted, the NAT issues forbade multiple Battle.net access anyway.

Please, Blizzard, consider not everyone is simply attempting to play an online game against anonymous and distant players. It seems the WoW phenomenon has colored your world-view that this is inappropriate. In the past I've thought it's a triumph that, along side a traditional game like chess, I can challenge my children with the online/LAN Starcraft.

Amazing! I had to visit sco.com to not believe this was not a little hyperbole but there it was -- we make UNIX, do professional services, and sue people.

Technically they should be sued by RedHat though since "RedHat vs. SCO" was listed a "Product" or "Service" as well and it seems that could violate copyright since as the instigator you'd think this particular suit was a "RedHat Product".

Just when you think you think nothing of SCO, they find a way to make you dig-deep and feel less ..
