## Summary

Warcraft Logs is changing its API because AI-generated addons are scraping its data and copying developers' work, CEO Sildri Silentcrest told 404 Media. The site now averages at least one commercial API request per day and is introducing a paid commercial key. Addon creator plusmouse says AI-generated versions have copied their nameplate design and that they have filed copyright complaints on Curseforge.
