Pictures: Hidden 'Grand Theft Auto' Sex Scene Still Earning Legal Attention.

See More... It's been about three years since the so-called 'Hot Coffee' scandal rocked the gaming world; a hidden sex scene in 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'. It was the cause of an uproar from parents all the way up to Hillary Clinton, and, of course lead to the inevitable lawsuit. Now, as millions have moved on to enjoy 'Grand Theft Auto IV,' it seems that only lawyers still care about the infamous scene.

There's a class action lawsuit on the books against the publisher, Take-Two Interactive, that is supported by lawyers who planned to make a windfall $1.3 million in legal fees representing those customers who lodged complaints against the game. However, only 2,676 actually joined the lawsuit, and with most just getting a payout of $5-$35 and a replacement copy of the game, Take-Two is set to only have to pay out about $30,000 to settle the suit (plus make a $860,000 charitable donation). This means the lawyers leading the suit are charging 40-times the amount they have won their clients!

Seems all is well in the U.S. legal system.
