A Starcraft 2 caster and a cyincal
twatbrit hardly counts as "all media sites".Either way, no NDA exist, Though you could easily call it an "effective NDA" if you will, though that terminology is incorrect, because basically the press and fansites are not allowed into the beta until the closed beta starts, but as we've seen, some people have gotten past it. Most notably Day9 and now most recently Athene and Yogscast.
Their access will be revoked if they are considered press by Blizzard, it's not that these guys are allowed to play the game but can't post about it, they're absolutely not allowed to have access to it at all, and that access will be revoked as soon as possible.

Their access was revoked again, there is no NDA. (By revoked i mean those prior to having been invited today, those from today/yesterday has yet to get their access revoked)

Not entirely.
While the game itself is content done, and could therefor, theoretically go gold already now, the beta is still a prerequisite of figuring out the release date as they still need the beta to finetune the server infrastructure, otherwise they're basically banking on the fact that they have no idea how the client will work in a live enviroment and that they can fix all of this before the release.
I would expect that they have the information they need shortly after the beta, but definitely not before.

This will still be less than what is required for Diablo 3 though, they need proper battle.net emulation, they can't just "bypass" it, and i figure that will atleast take a year, unless there are some very determined individuals who don't get caught or stopped first.

Would assume this to be the case as well, likely they, behind the scenes, maintain servers when not a full capacity.

The serverside stuff such as AI, drops, etc. won't be very big so it won't influence the size much.

I don't think there should be a discount for that, it should be free to begin with

Personally i find the poor quality of the photos to be damaging, quantifying it into a cost, however, is a whole different ballgame.

Not sure, was pretty stupid of him to post it to begin with, don't know if he was also stupid enough to think he would still have a future inside the gaming industry after today, could also be Blizzard telling him to delete everything before they call out the lawyers.

Instead the guy has
1. Illegitimately gotten a copy by datamining Blizzard's servers
2. Created his own server infrastructure
3. Created his own server software
4. Modified his client to connect to that server
5. Posted screenshots and videos of it online.
This is obviously 99,9% more likely to have happened.

This, likely it's exactly like WoW, 20 seconds out in the field, instantly inside towns/inns.
You can of course just alt+f4 but it'll just take the game longer to remove you from the game world, potentially killing you(Which is likely why it's not even an option)

There are definitely potions in the game, they've just changed it from being a potionfest to be something that can help you out of a tough spot once in a while due to the cooldown.
