(How Diablo 3 got a lot of flak for looking "cartoony" and SC2 didn't is a fucking definition of irony)
No irony there, the first Starcraft was only arguably less cartoony than Warcraft 2. The first two Diablo games on the other hand were basically the definition of grimdark, while Diablo 3 could be easily mistaken for WoW.

They also stand accused of encouraging others to infringe upon Blizzard's copyright, because "When users of the Hacks download, install, and use the Hacks, they copy StarCraft II copyrighted content into their computer's RAM in excess of the scope of their limited license, as set forth in the EULA and ToU, and create derivative works of StarCraft II
Ladies and gentleman, I'm gonna take a high resolution scan of the bottom of my Starcraft 2 disc. If you look at it really closely, you can see the bumps and planes that the laser in my high tech DVD drive reads as ones and zeros. These ones and zeros constitute the data that makes up the game. Therefore, it could be assumed that when I distribute this picture of the bottom of my Starcraft 2 disc, I'm actually giving out illegal copies of the game, and can be sued for millions upon millions of dollars in damages.
That's about as stupid as what I read above.
And even better, assuming this case wins in court, it'll end up meaning that playing Starcraft 2 is now illegal. Your computer reads the data on the harddrive and copies it into the ram. Since I believe since the EULA says only one copy per computer, and that copy doesn't include volatile storage such as ram, then...yup...we're all screwed.

I'm pretty sure the license agreement specifically forbids hacks, and selling them is even more immoral - as it's making money from other peoples' work... but that quoted part is just nonsensical.
