Some thoughts about the issue:
Don't really se why blizz would ad spy ware into the patch,,, if you log on to bnet they get al the information they need coz your computer is constantly communicating with the server, only way to disable it to play offline.. A new hack is always detectable but if blizz is not aware of the hack then they are not logging it,,, eventually they will be aware of it,, if not before then when the new hack reaches a site like BlizzHackers that is known to blizz and most likely crawled on regular basis.
About account banning,, this i don't understand,, anyone can create a new account and even cd key banning is ineffective,,, only way to stop it is ip banning or legal action as meny other companies have done in the past. Well actually i do understand it,, if they actually would take a stand against hacking the selling numbers would drop a bit.
Also map hack isn't that hard to disable,, a little server side update once a week would do the trick,, of course the hackers could change mh to work but makeing a new mh once a week would keep the hackers real busy.
Reason why they don't disable mh: They have to pay someone.
