Since when is speedrun.com promoting piracy?

This is a screenshot of Flying's GTA SA folder after the stream: http://prntscr.com/i48rpz

which you can check out here:

The file size and date of modification match values from this torrent: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/7372418/GTA_San_Andreas-HOODLUM_Plus_SAMP_Multiplayer

which means it is a pirated, illegal, cracked, and, I'm sad to disappoint all of you fanboys, MODIFIED client.

Please remove this nonsense from the leaderboards.

14 047 KB is standard size of the gta_sa.exe and it's not against the rules to use pirated/illegal/cracked client. Nobody is promoting piracy either. Can you explain further?

You do realise that all "pirated/illegal/cracked clients" are modified?

EDIT: "Nobody is promoting piracy either" Yh ok bro.

Ok, can you be more specific on what affect it had on his game?

Who knows, if someone can disassemble the cracked client then we'd know what has changed. And why does that even matter, the last korean run was rejected simply because of the language, can you tell me what affect that had on his game?

EDIT: The rules are simple, if it's not listed in the official mods/clients topic, then it isn't allowed.

Ok? So if they remove the run and make him use a steam version of the game he’s just gonna get the WR again by just a matter of time. There’s no point anymore he got the WR the mods looked over the run for 3 days to make sure he didn’t cheat and everything seems like they check out.

So we should just bend the rules because Flying is such a fair and honest guy? Cmon bro.

Shit boys, guess I'm done for :(

Seriously though, is this the proof that you said you had? There's nothing against the rules in this screenshot. Your proof relies on your misinformed presumptions, not just on FLYING's copy of the game but also on your profoundly Olympian levels of jumping to conclusions with "speedrun.com promotes piracy" lmfao.

This has to be a troll. A bad one at that. There's no other way.

@KZ_FREW OMG 14,047KB THE SAME AS FLYINGS gta_sa.exe!! I WANT ALL OF BENS RUNS REMOVED RIGHT NOW!

You made a thread asking how long before flyings run will get approved and seem as though you're a fanboy of his now you are trying to get it removed from the boards?

Anyways there isn't anything wrong with the file size at all and as KZ said you're a troll and tbh the last thread and this one needs to be removed imo.

@speedrun_inspection so just because you dont trust someone we shouldnt trust him?

Second time this fresh account has made a rage bait post so I locked this.

Yes, most runners use a No-CD exe (we even have them in the resources section) however we don't promote piracy as all of the resources we provide require a legit version of the game to downgrade/modify to. A few people have asked for pirate links and we have always told them to just buy the damn game.
