The judge just ruled and, unfortunately, it did not go much our way. He pretty much awarded everything to Blizzard again.
Here's a link to the order: http://www.mmoglider.com/Legal/trialorder_jan28.pdf
What this means for Glider customers
The judge asked us to file a memo by February 13th on why we should be allowed to continue to sell Glider through the appeal process.
I'm not sure why he asked for that, since I don't think he's going to start listening to us now. So we'll file it and see, but it seems very likely that he will rule against us. Then we'll go up to the 9th circuit and try to get a stay, similar to how the Napster case went.
If all goes badly, Glider could be shut down as early as mid-February. So keep your fingers crossed.

I just wanted to get a quick reply up on this, since people are telling me that we're shutting down in February, which is not quite true. That may or may not happen and the possibility of that happening is not something we can really measure.
But I can lay it out and you can decide on your own. Here's what's going to happen:
1) February 13th, both parties file regarding injunction and whether/how we can continue to sell during the appeal process. He asked for this in his ruling on Wednesday this week.
2) Sometime after that, maybe a week or two, Judge Campbell rules. If he rules in our favor, nothing else happens - we're good to go through appeal and this process ends. If he rules against us, then we go to step 3.
3) We go to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and ask for a stay through appeal. They gave it to Napster in 2000 and we have some good arguments, but who knows. If they give it to us, we sell through appeal. If not, we don't sell and Glider stops.
So we have two chances here. Different people give us different odds at each step. For example, I am not very hopeful that Judge Campbell will give us a stay, since he has pretty much smoked us at every turn so far and clearly considers me to be a Very Bad Person. So in my opinion, that's maybe a 20% chance. Other people, such as lawyers outside of the team, think it is much more likely that he'll give us a stay - he wouldn't have asked for briefing if he had no intention.
Similarly, there's no way to measure what'll happen at the 9th CCA if we don't get any mercy from Judge Campbell.
Consider it two coin flips and you need to win one. We'll know on the first coin flip in about 3 weeks.
