To me, the most interesting part of this article is the proper use of the word "hackers".

Usually, it's used where "crackers" is the correct word.

These guys are "crackers" too. Read the article again, they "cracked" the encryption and DRM layers. So that makes them both hackers and crackers, in both past and present usage of the terms.
