Blizzard counters gold spammers with lawsuits

Blizzard announced that they're actively applying counter-measures against in-game gold spammers, by suing the companies involved. A handful of them have a cease and desist warrant for now.

Blizzard has filed a federal lawsuit against the operators of Peons4hire, a popular gold-selling organization which many of you have no doubt seen advertised. As part of the lawsuit, the operators of Peons4hire have been asked to immediately cease all in-game spamming efforts by all entities and websites under their control.
