What's the difference between illegal and criminal? --bodnotbod 04:50, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Its a grey area really, for example in the USA reverse engineering a program thats encrypted is "Illegal" according to the DMCA but its not really "criminal" as far as intent goes. Whereas someone cracking software protection for purposes of distributions not only "illegally" breaking the law but is "criminal" in intent. Basically its a matter of legality vs. intent.
