Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.
Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?
Technically it's not.
They don't even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.
Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group's permission to redistribute their works.
