Ease up "Balk"! This is the place to ask a lagitamate question. Seems you are the abuser....
Anyway,
Are you asking about computer hacking or software piracy?
I'll attempt to answer both.
A. Computer Hacking 101 lesson 1
If you gain unlawful entry into a banking institutions systems with the intent to 'steal' money you have committed a crime, expect a knock at the door from the secret service or FBI within hours.
If you hack into a Government/Military 'puter -- expect a knock at the door, oh - they may want to place you in cuffs....or worse, you may be confronted by the MIB's if you hacked into Area 51 for instance....
B. Software Piracy 101 Lessons 1-?
Software 'Protection' schemes are rather ineffective against modern 'coders'. There are simple ways of removing the CD check (Insert CD) with various disassemblers. If you copy a game title for instance and remove the checker you have successfully 'Pirated' that software.
For the most part, few software makers go after the 'little guy'. Not saying that they won't, as you have 'stolen' their product - thereby infringing on copyrights.
Warning::! Avoid Pirating most MicroSoft products, they are designed to tell on you....For that matter I would say stop using Windoz, but then it runs on almost 95% of the worlds PC's. My gripe as a computer technician is that Windoz crashes quite often, but my customers insist that their computer is broken, when in reality I'm undoing damage by hackers, worms, viruses, etc....And Bill Gates keeps getting richer! -- I'm not jealous, just tired of fixing crappy Operating Systems....whaaa, oh well....

Are you and Mahsa B in the same computer class?
Forget it.
Do your own homework.
It's absolutely disgusting how some people try to abuse this place and other people like this.

money and prison. and not necessarily in that order. depends on the country, state, the judge, the prosecutor, you, etc. etc. or a combination of previous factors. hope it does help. avoid if necessary.
