Many of these types of things are done by people who simply want to rise to the challenge. Not to rip off the game company or to make it possible for other people to get games for free. Simply because its a challenge and they do it to see if they can.

Take team rEsIn for example, they crack slysoft products just to do it.

So, the ultimate weapon against piracy is to have something to do :D send in the women.
For computers, buying cheaply and often will only leave you constantly in a world of shit.

Thats right, but there is a difference between taking a challenge to crack a program (like when Microsoft says its un-crackable and it gets cracked before the relies date) and making that cracked program and\or crack available for download. I am sure they have no problem buying the program and cracking it for shits and giggles, but they do have a problem with making it available to download so anyone can use that program for free.

What are they going to do?

Most of these people operate in third world countrys with no DMCA laws and all the servers where these files initally come from are in the same book. Not much they can do. The only people I've seen make a good effort to thwart piracy has been blizzard entertainment. Usually if you can crack their stuff you can never get it to work online and nearly every blizzard game made sucks balls offline. Other then that its been a joke with their attempts.

They put protections on game disks and software like Alcohol 120% can make copies of nearly all of it that work.

Right or wrong, its never going to stop.
