Oddly enough, in the music software scene, not so much. At one point, the folks cracking/releasing music software had a tendency to actually fix bugs in the apps they were cracking :) (and there was a story about 8 years ago about one music software publisher who was insulted when one particular group of music software crackers didn't touch their software - to be fair, by all accounts, it was a piece of shit :)
Not encouraging/endorsing the scene. Then again, I think the music software scene probably has a higher rate of treating the cracked version as a trial, then going on to buy the full version than most other realms where there's cracked software. Of course, again, that's based on my last major runins with it and people using it - which was ~8 years ago.
