Wildenborg is still proud of discovering the Hot Coffee code due to the research it took, but believes if it wasn't him, it would have been found by somebody else who knew what they were doing. He also doesn't blame Rockstar for its initial reaction of blaming modders for creating the code the company had actually left in the game, but thinks the company should have handled the situation differently from the start. Wildenborg is getting ready to explore the code of GTA IV when it releases, but doubts he'll find something like Hot Coffee again.

They couldn't even use the DMCA because 1) he didn't circumvent any copy-protection; 2) he lives in the Netherlands.
Believe me, if Rockstar/Take-Two would have had any legal recourse against this guy, they would have taken it. Remember, this is the same company who sued a children's charity organization for using the name "rawkstars." They also sued a college artist for making a video criticizing their games because it has a 1 second looping clip of The Warriors.
Rockstar and Take Two only care about the "1st amendment" and "freedom of speech" when it directly affects their bottom-line.

I would have assumed a bored teenager would have discovered this.

"were you offended/hurt/damaged (whatever it said) by the San Andreas Hot Coffee mod?" Your average consumer doesn't usually mod games like this (especially for the XBOX version). Reminds me of the lesser fiasco that was Oblivion.

I mean I don't like coffee and tea or any hot drink since it burns my tongue and the caffeine makes me almost want to throw up.
