You are misunderstanding, video files of any kind cannot be cracked or hacked, the "breaking of the law" part here is that you get an illegal copy of a copyrighted video on your PC, which you also do by screen capture. If you haven't purchased a licensed DVD or CD or whatever with the video and are not paying for it - you are bypassing copyrights, which is illegal, not only the way you do it. If I share a number of my photoes through BitTorent - that's OK, there is nothing cracked, its legal no matter how you transfer it If you get a recently released movie, a TV show series, cracked software - that's illegal, but you'd be breaking the law anyway even if you brought this things to your PC on a flash drive, or use screen capture, not just because you use torrents. I do hope this info was useful since the twisted moral about law breaking torrent users pretty much makes the discussion in this topis useless
