Pretty much legally open and shut. It's their baseball, and if you want to play with it, you have to play by their rules. The server? Eh, may or may not be legal. Using Blizzard's software to connect to that server? Breach of agreement, with the agreement stating that you can be held legally responsible if they decide to pursue it.
So, once again, I have no problems with private servers. My problem is with this "information wants to be free and there can't be anything legally wrong with my playing a subscription based game for free" attitude. I also think it's irresponsible to let anyone believe they aren't breaking the law when they quite simply are.

Ok well heres the problem with this whole theory your not " on " there servers there for its fine to do whatever you want furthermore if your not "on there servers" they have no sayso and how could you possibly ever be "found out" that your on a priv server is what im gitting at here yea it MAY be "illegal"
to "connect" to a priv server useing there software but whos gana know is the thing......and 1 last thing even if you magicly somehow got ..found out.. you were doing this not going over a bridge here but what is a GAME company gana throw you in jail over pretty much nothing? that makes me laugh i dout it if not then who cares anyway...
Sure, they might also charge a fine but its not like it whould be some GIANT amount or somin, so as a conclusion i really dont see what everyone is gitting so worked up for beats me. cause the chance of gitting thrown in jail or charged a fine from somin this stupid is probly about 10,000 to 1
