I can't state the actual case…but by stating that fair use constitutes making an archival of the *original* then by implication a cracked copy isn't an original…thus not covered by the fair use doctrine. But by the same token…I know of NO case where anyone was convicted…or even charged…by doing whatever they wanted with softwar they bought…as long as they didn't distribute it. Don
