There is a new launcher/uploader/downloader program that will be added to the Cataclysm Beta shortly. It will arrive for all players when Cataclysm arrives this fall sometime.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR OCEANIA PLAYERS: Apparently to test the beta of this program, you have to erase your Cataclysm beta and download everything all over again. Details here about how to avoid the broken download URL.
Remember to be very careful when you get an email list this as your WOW email address login is known to every spamner or con artist on the planet.

Activision Lawsuit and Downloads
Activision has been much criticized for the cost and skimpy content in its Call of Duty series downloads. However, the Call of Duty map packs have been downloaded more than 20 million times. They cost $15 each currently. You can do the math yourselves, but at that rate, skimpy content at high prices will continue to flow.

In other Activision news, Kotick has lost a sexual harassment and sexual discrimination lawsuit and the appeal which seems to involve a dispute over what he owed a lawyer in the case for representing him. Details here. Note that he wasn't the one doing the harassing but did not prevent it. Instead he fired the complainant. Many thanks to Kotaku for leading me to the LA Times story.
