Downloading the client in Germany (GEMA concerns)

[Lavidang 0]

Hello everyone,

My question is for anyone in Germany or who understands the 'legality' of downloading the client for Elysium.

I'm an American student living in a dorm in Germany, and use my German university's internet. Everything I use my internet for (more or less) is tracked by my university, in compliance with GEMA, the German copyright FCC-esque big brother. I've been told that streaming is fine, but when downloading something, I have to be careful.

So therefore, I am wondering if anyone knows if downloading the WoW client to play on the Elysium server's would potentially put me at risk, or if this is nothing to worry about.

I started playing Wow over 11 years ago (crazy), and quit during Wrath, but would love to return to vanilla (or as I call it, pre-BC). This is the only thing holding me back, I don't want to get into any sort of freaky legal situation.

Anyone that can help, it will be much appreciated! Tschüss!

It wouldn't be a risk of downloading a.RAR file obviously. But I would recommend doing it with some free VPN proxy.

 

Nonetheless, I'm 90% sure it wouldn't be a big deal of downloading a WoW client.

Nothing will happen.
