"We've been getting many questions regarding a possible pirated GTA3 PC release across the internet lately. A lot of popular games can often be found weeks before release date, floating on the internet, but this was not the case with GTA3.
Rockstar has been very careful with pre-release copies of the GTA3 for the PC. First and foremost, GTA3 was kept nicely zipped up, apprently previews were allowed, but the game itself was not distributed. Secondly, each demo/press copy that went out was electronically labelled. So in the case of a leak, it would be known who leaked the game. "
