But cracking, copying and spreading software of which you haven't the right to use is illegal, of course. The right of having a safety copy weighs higher than the companies' right to have their data carriers to be copy protected. Some companies consider that being illegal because their program is altered but I think that altering legally obtained programs for accomodating to own needs is just right. I personnally use NO DVD cracks on software that I own to first protect the original DVD from being scrtched and second to be freed from the requirement of a DVD being inserted all the time. Well, and in other countries, copy protection mechanisms that prevent people making their safety copies are illegal, which I consider to be a good law.
Nintendo has stated that flashcart readers for the DS are technically legal, and are still legal if you are playing backups of games you own yourself, but NOT to play any sort of game you haven't personally made a backup of.
