Blizzard clearly did not make it very difficult whatsoever to crack the game vs AI - they are not a stupid developer and knew full-well that anyone without a beta key was gonna get on the cracked AI band-wagon since it only took about a week to crack this thing, its clear to me that Blizzard purposely made cracking offline play easy.
Battle.net 2.0 on the other hand - it may never be cracked, or at the least, it will take until a retail release and not the beta. Currently Bnet sends a session unique authorization code when you connect to SC2 Beta servers, and until the crack devs can figure out A. the algorithm (if there is one), or B. the complete list of auth codes, we will not see online play cracked.
In the meantime lets all work together to get some real challenging AI going.
