Making software bugs as fatal as hardware bugs would have made software near perfect:

I.e. every time Windows give BSOD, a programmer should be executed.

Cracking non-free software is a fool's game. It is not practical to study and modify non-free software in a meaningful manner. Even if you do manage to achieve this technical feat, you will most certainly be forbidden to share your work in your upstanding community. I don't find the notion of sharing my work underground to escape from the software owners to be a productive use of my time. I support only free software because free software as everybody is encouraged to study, improve and share with one another without having to escape and hide from the software owners - everything can be done in public and with my good name.
