Does google allow 'hacking tutorial' type sites to have adsense?

    My site does not advocate hacking, it just tells people how hackers manage to do what they do. It also has a large section devoted to getting around DRM.

    DO you think google would ban me if I put adsense on a site of this type???

    Most likely not, as hacking is illegal. It's like making a "How to Build a Bomb for Dummies" site, sure you don't advocate it but you still show how to make one. I would say against TOS.

    Intent is secondary to substance so I imagine this would not be allowed. That's like: "I'm not advocating the overthrow of the Government of Timbucktu, but here is how you would do it."
