Please dont mix up trolls and vandals with hackers and crackers. Sure some members of those four gropus are members of others, but just cause someone breaks the copyright on a CD does not mean they are at all anti-social, just anti-corporate.

If they aren't, they'll have friends who are. It's the same reason Digital Rights Management and copy-protection on CDs doesn't work - if one person breaks it, it's broken for all.
The average vandal is probably more likely to be interested in computers than history. History is may be too boring for him, but he may have some experience with computer games. His online presence is just another way to have "fun".
Copy protection on CDs is treated as one more challenging puzzle. It's another "boss" at a deeper level of the game. The people who produce copy protection systems want you to believe that they will work for the obvious reason that their income depends on it.
