Blizzard vs bnetd

[MyndFyre]

Contract: An oral or written agreement between two or more parties which is enforceable by law.

A series of bytes is not "written" technically

The laws that enforce them would be those that cover things such as breach of contract civil trial by jury, jurisprudence, and the statute of limitations.

[Adron]

When you enter into a contract you can explicitly give up a right, such as a right to fair use.

Some rights you can give up in a contract, others you cannot. Also, if you then practise one of those rights, what you are really doing is a contract violation, not breaking the law which the right is an exclusion from? Particularly, if one party breaches a contract regarding reverse-engineering with Blizzard, I fail to see how that would affect any other party that receives such information from the first party -- the other party is not bound by any contract with Blizzard.
