They're just providing a public service. They don't have permission to release cracked games but it's not too much of a crime when they do.
TBH I feel that releases that are downloaded by a user and just used on a single P.C isn't really hurting anyway. It's generally better to stump up cash after playing a cracked release anyway to do stuff like play online.
Things get messier when you have people downloading releases and then flogging them to others or trying to sell them as a replacement for the official products. This is when I feel authorities and companies have a case against loss of earnings and crimes taking place.
