Good for Blizz. Probably not good for the customer, but this kind of stuff needs to be licensed or shut down for the long term health of the game.
Also, fuck Blizz. They can die in a fire for what they've done to this game since Legion. The DEI squad makes everything shit. Purge them and beg the Cosby suite crew to make a consulting company they can anonymously rehire them under and make the game great again.

This HD patch is extremely good
Epoch doesn't have anything right now that works like this does.

Quite frankly I think Blizz should let the private servers lead the way so that they can try to replicate what the players want.
Blizzard has done nothing but destroy it's own player base in wow with all of their decisions, so why not let a private srrver show them how it's done and then wow try to replicate the private servers.

I tried Anniversary Classic. What I saw was rampant RMT, tons of gold buyers / sellers. The entire world was empty for the most part because everyone was paying IRL cash for boosts start at like lvl 8 to 60.
In the random chance that you happened to be out mining or herbing, you saw nodes disappear right in front of you or someone teleport directly onto the node, clearly hacking and using teleporting. Bots were reported and still online for months.
In Epoch / Turtle, big broadcast goes out as people are banned.
Blizzard not only condones the botting and cheating, they encourage it. Blizz destroyed their own game, not the private servers.

Fuck Blizz. The private servers are FAR superior to anything Blizz has ever done. I hope Blizz wins the case and these out-of-US people tell Blizz to go fuck themselves.

That would end poorly. M$FT is one of the few companies that would think nothing of the costs involved with suing the end users if that happened. Though it would be simpler to go after the ISPs to get them to add the emu server IPs to their global blacklists. ISPs will bend over backwards to comply with DMCA takedowns, because they are literally forced to to keep their common carrier status.

It would also be simpler to go after ISPs than it would to sue out-of-US people as well. But they aren't doing it that way. Strange huh?

Where do you think Classic WoW, WoW Hardcore and Season on Discovery came from.
Blizzard got taught how to do Classic WoW by the Nostalrius devs.
Hardcore started as an Addon.
Season of Discover is all just plagiarized private server content.
They did the same thing with D2R, just copied a lot of stuff from Project Diablo 2 and slapped it in D2R.
Blizzard just steals ideas from it's fans slaps woke and whimsical art on it and calls it their own idea.

M$FT is a multinational juggernaut. They are local in every first world country and have legions of purchased government critters.

Seems it would be easier to leverage those critters than spending thousands of dollars on an ineffective US judgment. Strange they aren't doing that....

It might be. It might not be. They might be aiming for precedent. They may simply want to make an example out of whoever to send a warning. Filing a lawsuit is probably the cheapest first shot since they have armies of lawyers on retainer for that purpose.

Do you even know where Turtle WoW is physically hosted? I'll give you a hint, it's in a country that doesn't give a SHIT about US precedent....

Ah. Well, China is a third world shithole. Activision has tried to play ball there in the past, so no idea. Getting a legal precedent there and getting ignored would make getting a court order to track down users through the ISPs easier.
I have never worked for M$FT, and I don't care how any of this plays out. They have the resources to end the server outside of China if they want to whether China wants them to or not. With the issues surrounding the UK's recent bullshit a lot of countries are going to be creating their own Great Firewalls.
