It was hardly cracked. Someone found that you could take the code for the plugin and make a *seperate version* of the plugin that would play videos from sites other than google.

To do any damage you would have to get everyone to download your special version of the plugin and install it and go to your site. Even then the "crack" was only to allow video not from google's servers to be played with the plugin.

Next time do your homework before shooting your mouth off MS boy.
