I think they would...
I've heard though that sometimes if the person is skilled at cracking software or hacking into their system's, they will hire them

No one's really privy to what MS management does about this stuff as policy...but "hiring the most talented hackers and pirates" is most definately a ploy.
1. You can't trust people like that, so why would you hire them into the core of your company?
2. It's easier (and cheaper) to put them in federal prison than pay them the money to keep them loyal and deal with the risks.

microsoft?not likely, not a user or pirate of their garbage they call "great software"
the RIAA or MPAA on the otherhand, they could try, Id be more than happy to go thru litigation, im sure a jury and judge would be thrilled at the lack of hard evidence the RIAA and MPAA is using to coerce settlements from people
I know two parties that have been sued by the RIAA, both got the same attorney and he said sure, lets go to trial, they backed down, my understanding is thats been the RIAA's policy all along too, take what they can get, but keep it out of court, attorneys are $300/hr these days.

Well the same things goes with drug dealers or organized crime leaders. Many when caught are faced with the option, either rot in prision, or help the authorites. And many choose to help the authorites. I am sure ms can keep a tight watch over some one like this if they hire them. But no one knows for sure if this happens. i assume so because it happens with drug dealers and such.
