Everybody talks about torrenting, but recently when searched for some software I stumbled on regular sites with extensive collection of cracked programs. There’s many of them, but what I looked at closely was filecr . com and what I’ve seen puzzled me. They have many, many releases. Old, recent what you need. All neatly organized, just like regular legit software store. I’ve tried one of files and it was clean and worked flawlessly.

How they operate so openly? What’s the catch?

You lay out a highly sophisticated attack when it’s simple to adjust the downloaded software to call home. Why would anyone invest that much into something like that (you left out where “some other databases” would be and how reliable they would be) when there are much simpler and more reliable approaches?
