Let me start out with: I agree with everything your saying.
However, are we really to the point where we are debating the definition of the word crack and hack? I have to point out that neither of your definitions fits with the actual definitions and are more like web slang. See Webster, Princeton, Google etc... Below are the closest definitions to what your getting at.
Hack
-Use a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system
-Gain unauthorized access to (data in a computer)
Crack
-Break or cause to break open or apart
At best, they are the same thing as they both involve a breach of security measures. It's like saying there is a difference between hit and slap because you can only slap a bitch but you hit a man.
The key here is that there is rarely any more evidence then an IP address linked to some activity. There is no proof that it came from your household or any one person.
The scariest part for me is losing all my computers... how would I continue to watch pirated movies?
Computers are less of a fortune when you consider it's other uses. Just add the cost of a console and it's accessories to the cost of a computer you would have bought anyway.
The issue is that child porn is a criminal matter while infringement is a civil matter. Websites should be given notice that the material is infringing and be allowed the opportunity to take it down. It's not the responsibility of the website to determine what is infringing material either, as it's been discussed before, it can be very difficult to determine what constitutes infringement.
Oh and this will happen more and more as content providers and newspapers decide they don't want to fork over 30% of their sales.
Then they (Apple) will be faced with supporting an irrelevant service (App Store), blocking all routing attempts, or adjust to new trends. Take a guess at which one it will be.
I fail to see how the 'whole cloud thing' has anything to do with this. This actually made me nerd rage for a bit since the cloud isn't a new concept and it really being used as more of a buzz word recently. The internet is a giant cloud, a place where multiple devices can access data. We have been storing files for years in online email accounts but suddenly we're in the world of "Cloud Computing" because we're storing music online, and using Google Docs.
I apologize if this seems like a personal attack on you Transbot9, it wasn't meant to be.
If I'm confused at all with this topic, please let me know, but it seems pretty straight forward.
History Teacher in an Elementary School in 2211 begins his class by linking into a hive neural network and begins his daily instruction by feeding information directly into his class's temporal lobe. "In the 21st Century, we used a series of ones and zeros to perform primitive computations by accessing various true/false conditions. This method was similar to the original sand table abacus' used as far back as 2700 BC. Before we began utilizing (insert futuristic computation method here) and (synthetic compound existing in quantum space) we were restricted to Silicon. This material's ability to compute data was restricted by heat and instead of finding more innovative methods for processing data, we used complex cooling methods or simply increased the number of processing cores. Computers in the 21st Century were equipped with fans and water cooling systems found in primitive automobiles."
When you compare these methods to our actual brain functions, I would consider it primitive. Consider science fiction and our potential technological advancements. In a few hundred years, anything we are doing now will be perceived as primitive.
