Grand Theft Porno

Well, PS2 rom's are pretty hard to hack.
Problem is, computer games are not.
THIS thing has been all over the news today, as it seems Rockstar left in porno scenes that one can't normally access.
However, if you download a patch from some Dutch hacker, it unlocks them.

Now, the outroar exists because, if you're M, i.e. 17 years or older, and you have this game for the PC; you can download a program that unlocks coitus electronicus, if you will.

Haven't we heard of this before?
Tomb Raider and Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball nude patches?
I think the sticking point here is that the code is already in the game, just not enabled.
Does that consist as part of the game to be rated?

I think since the means are the same, the ends are the same.
Since you have to alter the game, no matter how small, to view the content, Rockstar really isn't responsible.

If I hid Fuck Yous in an E-rated game's source, am I going to get owned?
