In Theory it is easy. Everybody pays 5$. If 60 000 members pay, then the cash will be 300 000$. The Nostalrius team can buy the rights. There is just one problem, you cannot go into a shop and buy a nostalrius game card
Unless you somehow convince 60,000 people to learn how Bitcoin works, donating $5 will leave a paper trail of direct monetary support for what is most likely an illegal operation in their country of residence. I realize that the laws are not clear everywhere on IP issues and that some countries are totally cool with what Nostalrius set up. Unfortunately, under the regressive IP system most of the western world is likely to punish you for siding with Nostalrius on this one. Especially if you're giving them money.
I was thinking about whether or not it would be the right move for the Nostalrius team to go the crowdfunding route gathering promised capital for an outright purchase of the license. Worst case scenario, Blizzard says no, everyone gets their money back.
