imo it's all about the way you say it
i am on awm but i never upload fake files

for game hacks/cracks i usually upload zipped torrent files and that seems to be okay. also on my landing websites + YT vids i always specify that the files are downloadable by torrent.
ppl download a zipped torrent, unzip it and download, from a torrent, a fake keygen / crack / whatever hack ... etc
also it's good for you if you try and find some hacks that actually work and give them to ppl
for example i made a 'freebie' on my website offering some LoL tools that are free online (something like a HUD for the game) and since then i've seen rises in my conversions
also if you want your public to respond well always leave a contact (facebook page/aim/skype) and check it from time to time and respond to complaints (not working, zipped with pass, etc) and use some fake excuse like 'mate the program got updated and we no longer work with that hacker' or stuff like that depending on the situation.
ppl don't mind getting 'scammed' as long as they don't lose any money ... also as i said, if you want to be ok with AWM never but NEVER lock anything that is illegal like ripped WP themes/plugins, cracked programs/games... torrent files give you a good standing point in case of a ban ... then you can just talk to dennis and say something like 'mate i was giving people torrent files and they were fully aware of it so my traffic is perfect'
