World of StarCraft Hit With Copyright Claim

Oh come on, there were TONS of maps for Warcraft 3 called World of Starcraft/Diablo/Warcraft and Blizzard never complained about them, Now they're under Activision's influence and start bitching whenever someone creates anything similar to their games.
On a side note, I'm getting more and more annoyed by Youtube since they strated shutting down videos and removing sound from them. First they blocked worldwide one of my videos because it contained some music (not imediately, but months after I uploaded it) and now they delete trailers for games and movies or at least block them in some regions.

Actually now that I think about it, the youtube videos probably got canned to avoid misunderstandings.
People are dumb.
They'd look at the videos and think that Blizzard is literally making world of starcraft. Or there'd be these stubs floating around the internet forever and rampant rumor mongering by the uninformed.
If they didn't want the project to continue it's well within their ability to do just that.
