Maybe it's just me, but games should be judged on the content that is playable on the game WITHOUT hacking. This mod doesn't work unless files are modified, because hackers found the changes and implemented them by enabling areas of code that were not intended on being enabled. To me, the person that should be sitting in court is the hacker that found and released the mod - not the publishers that released a "clean" game (clean as far as GTA goes).
