Hacker vs. cracker. Hack isn't a nefarious term, or at least it shouldn't be. Hacking is just using something in an unintended way. The problem is with how DMCA made that am illegal thing to do if there was a digital lock. While intended to mean you can't bypass CSS to rip movies from DVDs, it's been used to block the right to repair and other things completely anti-consumer. But you probably know this.
