To me there's no moral difference between changing the version reply or the mechanism that is meant to either stop that or stop something else in the .exe being interfered with. Opening the .exe == opening the .exe. I've opened it before and experimented on my own computer as a learning experience. What I haven't done is what this git did and posted what I found out or a workaround for a security feature. Yet you clearly support it. The fact that he had his original attempt at stardom edited provides consensus that what he did was just plain stupid.
