Hypothetically, then it makes huge business incentive for these companies to work with hackers/crackers to embed malware in their crack for homing in on the pirates. Since, there wasn't any intrusion involved, I doubt whether it would be considered hacking legally? Even if it did, does the protections apply to cracks used for pirating? I bet there aren't any legal precedence for such situations in several countries where such organizations operate.
