It didn't seem to matter in this case. "I know YOTD was vulnerable because the copy protection was only run once, at boot time. I assume the crack bypassed the copy protection and then restored the data to its original state."
The original comment was about the choice of checksum (CRC32), and a different algorithm might have made that harder if they had bothered to attack it.

Doesn't the article also say they considered checking multiple times but decided against it to prevent too long load times?
