Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rockstar Games, 2004) remains a landmark in interactive entertainment, but its commercial success was predicated on a complex framework of intellectual property (IP) administration.

Findings indicate that robust IP administration created significant market value but that unforeseen user-generated content (UGC) modifications can create novel legal liabilities. This case provides enduring lessons for digital rights management (DRM) and end-user license agreements (EULAs) in modern gaming.
