If you planned to do it someday, make sure you're fully ready to face any legal claim by the actual owner .
I accept It buying hacked db is illegal. But sometimes user profile databases are usefull on how you use them in marketing. But again I never bought hacked databases.
How do you know a db is hacked? Also, how can you have a property right of something, wich contains free information. Let's take for example a lyrics db, as i've seen many around here. Do you own those lyrics, did you sign a contract for the right to use them, did you bought them from the original writer? Then how can you tell me they are yours? I prefer to make my own dbs, because dupe content is not in my line of work.
most hackers are rippers.. you can search most hackers forums they will just take your money and not give you the database but really if it was possible.. i would just take the myspace database..
Go eat a water balloon. Theres too many thieves here already. Let me tell you one thing. If someone hacked my database, I'd track them down and shove a log up thier ass.
NO! i respect others and there obtained database information. If i'd like to have some, i'll ask for it!
I have dozens of databases some of which might be hacked ones. It is not possible to check each database before buying and see if what you are buying is hacked or not.
