Heroes of Newerth Lawsuit?

So there has been many things floating around the internet claiming that HoN is being sued by blizzard for copyrights.

The big claim is that the custom created maps on Warcraft 3 (WC3) are the property of WC3.  Every player had to agree to TOS before playing the game, therefore DotA is the property of blizzard.

The biggest counter argument however is that "blizzard does not own the concept of DotA, or the concept of RTS, MMO, or action RPG" (Ashigaru 2009).

Discover Card Holders

Discover is being sued by Shakib, et al. This is a class action lawsuit against Discover for improperly disclosing customer information to a third party.

Now, discover is settling this case, without admitting faulty, by providing the following:
1. "120 days of identity fraud insurance for californian card holders from 1999-2005"
2. "90 days of identity fraud insurance for californian card holders from 2006-June 15 2009"
3. "$400,000 donations to certain charities and non-profit organizations"
4. "$5,000 payment to settlement representatives"
5. "$3,150,000 payment for court costs (court fees, attorney fees, etc.)

Man, that is a lot of money. I wish I had that kind of money to give out to admit no fault if allegedly I did some wrong doing.
