The two sites had probably talked about blocking WM before patch day, discussing ways to effectively block them. It's also likely that Curse didn't tell WoWI on (or the day before) patch day that they'd start their blocking, they probably gave WoWI a few days notice. Maybe even weeks, who knows.

edit: btw, poking around the net i learned that zam sued (or is suing) curse for copyright infringement, demanding $1mil. not sure if it was a friendly lawsuit or not. i couldn't read up on any details but i'm guessing it's related to the remarkable similarities between wowdb and wowhead.

WoWI is Zam, but Zam is not WoWI... Unless I missed something somewhere along the years.
