This is "old news" and Blizzard has for a while ago told that they won't do
this again and it was wrong doing this... That apology is fine for me and I
don't think they'll extract personal information from the registry in a game
they've made again.

IMHO, I think there's loads of other computer software that does "dirty"
things behind our backs like this, but we just don't know about it..

) This is true it's not a joke !

) I am writing to inform ya and the rest of the world about blizzards
) unacceptable
) behaviour. This was first spoted by Beowulf of rzr and I give him full
) credit, I
) am so disturbed about his discovery that I feel I have to let people
) know.So far
) no one seems to care with Starcraft players being to preoccupied in
) their games....
)
) Apparently Starcraft being a program running on your pc is privliged by
) the os to
) access the registry of win95 and illegaly extract sensitive information
) about ya,
) like name and e-mail address.
)
) According to beowulf this are the keys beign accessed
) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\User Info\DefName
) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail and News\Mail\Sender
) Name
) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape Navigator\User\User_Name
) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail and News\Mail\Sender
) EMail
) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\User\User_Addr
) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kali\Kali95\User Info\email
)
) I did a registry check and it contained my real name.
) If u try to connect to battlenet without a valid key either cause u have
) the warez
) version or you made a mistake,your information is logged onto their
) system.
)
) I feel that this practice is unacceptable and If we dont make a stand
) against it
) now,every company and every individual can start to violate our privacy
) for his own
) personal reasons. Note that the registry contains passwords and every
) concernign
) u and ur pc..and even though the passwords are encoded, I am sure there
) will be a
) way to crack them.
)
) Finally I enclose the proof, as presented again by beowulf which I thank
) for his
) discovery. I feel I can never trust my pc anymore,and how cna we know
) that microsoft hasnt
) been doing that for years.

)
) I have since verified this for myself..and it is true..
) they even extracted my local settings i.e country etc...
) this is sooo lame and i am soo pissed off please make sure the word is
) out on how
) lame they are..if they dont get a response they will jsut keep on doing
) it
