As has already been reported across the Internet, GTA IV has been leaked via Torrent programs. On the one hand, the rippers and uploaders urge downloaders to buy the game. And I doubt that the leak of GTA IV is going to hurt Rockstar's bottom line or prevent them from making more games.
I tend to be fairly loose with intellectual property. I have an R4 for my DS (only for homebrew games, honest!) and see no problem with downloading television shows. That said, I will NOT be downloading GTA IV, and not just because my Xbox 360 isn't modded. I prefer to wait like a patient little boy and play the game at the time of release. I think I'll enjoy it more when the anticipation has built. Even if I don't have to worry about being banned from Xbox Live (since I don't have an account), I'm doing this to increase my personal appreciation, not out of fear of punishment.
