The seven-count countersuit (available in pdf form via WoWGlider's site) claims that "Blizzard has suffered damage in an amount to be proven at trial, including but not limited to loss of goodwill among WoW users, diversion of Blizzard resources to prevent access by WoWGlider users, loss of revenue from terminated users, and decreased subscription revenue from undetected WoWGlider users."The original suit (pdf), filed in November of 2006, filed by WoWGlider creator Michael Donnelly after being visited at his home by a 'high ranking officer of Vivendi' and a lawyer for both Vivendi and Blizzard, sought a trial by jury if the companies thought that his creation had, as they had accused, violated both World of Warcraft copyrights and the DMCA.
