Using cracked accounts has its benefits. Sometimes it gets annoying as the individual changes his/her password.

That's the downside of cracked accounts.

I've had accounts die within a day or two, while others have lasted In excess of 12 months. On-topic of privacy & anonymity, although many users believe It's much of a muchness, there's a clear distinction between the two as follows.

Privacy- Not being able to see what you're doing.
Anonymity- Not being able to Identify you.

An analogy that separates both, Is when you've broken Into a house wearing a balaclava, stolen a few bits & pieces, but caught on CCTV camera. The occupants can "see what you're doing" when viewing the footage, but due to the balaclava, you could not be "Identified". The former pertains to your privacy being disclosed, and the latter Is relative to your anonymity being Intact.

That is a very well-detailed analogy that you used. Well said and informative. Privacy, Anonimity & Security are all used interchangeably without what they do in mind. Understanding the differences between can help many users who are into the world of privacy & security.
