Now, as to the claims of it being "just another illegal hack"...
1. Some of the sites launching complains about Cassini had no trouble hosting GiriGiri [hacked], so really, is this about your morality, or being biasly trendy?
2. Hacked... even the US congress can not yet agree entirely upon how to definatively declair what is or is not a "hack".
Many countries have no laws pertaining to computers or software.
To my knowledge, the original GiriGiri final commercial release (which is what is typicaly being refered to when used in conjunction with "GiriGiri Hack", was not itself modified. Rather, a loader was made that allows it to run without the "need" for a code.
Since the first law went into effect making it illegal for a person to gain entry to ones home by entering a door without permission, burglers used the window, as it was not technically illegal. (not saying it was moral mind you) Point being, a loader is itself, not considered illegal. That isn't to saying using GiriGiri without paying for it isn't illegal. Of course, have you tried to pay for GiriGiri lately? Of course not, you can't.
3. No, this is not an original work, and it is based heavily on GiriGiri, no doubt about it.
And, from that perspective, yes, it is a modification of GiriGiri.
