But as in cracking guides, for example the Mirc nag screen is there to remind you to be nice and donate money to the guy who made it, now obviously your one of the many who wouldnt, and probably wouldnt do the same for any other program that did the same (WinRAR etc).

Removing a protection from a game to play it without the media is one thing, trying to bypass application protections/nags is another. You want it removed go out and buy it. Its not even that expensive for a lifetime registration.

Even at that cracking protections open is not an easy thing period. You must know ASM inside and out, know about PE headers etc Years of learning.
The mIRC nag screen is not a problem. I'm sure there are already cracks for it, anyway. I don't want to crack it because it annoys me, I want to do so just to see how it works.
