If the copyright of the program says you cannot alter it then you cannot, so
does that mean if you belong to one of these countries it gives you the right to
post on here and say hey Ed (Rebel) stuff you, here is the crack for everyone to
use to crack your program and use it for free.

I do not think so, I doubt very much that any country allows cracking or hacking
of programs, I know for one thing that Microsoft does not want anyone touching
their operating system or altering it.

you say under some conditions, well this is a condition where you have to ask
before you do.

As for hacking, it mean getting into the program to either alter or change it,
otherwise there is no need to hack a program. So I think your two points are not
clear.
