It's not taboo.  I just feel that it belongs elsewhere.

Most deprotection stuff can be found on BBSs, magazines (I gave one a while
back; there may be another one called the "Software Protection Digest"
laying around here somewhere), or sold as text files on disk.  Anyone who
is really interested should look there.

I would like to see this newsgroup be used to discuss current Apple //
products, problems, and questions; if I want to read about someone's latest
"warez" (or similarly misspelled items) I will look in an appropriate place.

Incidentally, "talk about copy protection" is different from "give methods
for defeating copy protection".  The former belongs in a philosophical
newsgroup, while the latter belongs elsewhere.
