Difference between "legal" crack and illegal crack?

[henry]

The game developers/publishers put the protection there, having the original does not free you up to use cracks etc.

To say you only promote cracks for legit users, or cracks that don't circumvent activation is contradictory.

A crack is a crack is a crack.......one crack cannot be more acceptable than another, because they all do something game/software developers/publishers don't want YOU to do.

As long as the protection is circumvented, pirating will flourish.
