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.

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.
