Is this cracked software? If so, we can't help.

Before I start explaining my problem, I just wanted to say my knowledge is very basic and limited (about pcs).
So... In about one year 4 computers have stopped working. 2 of those were mine, one was my fathers and one was my sisters. They all had similar sympthoms, but not exactly same. All 4 used same windows 7 that I got from piratebay.
This windows uses removeWAT which basically prevent it from getting any updates. At that time this windows had highest amount of seeders so I tought its safe.
I have most information on my pc problems because I used those.
After half year of using this windows, some freezes would occur after which I had to restart pc. Then I could use pc for day or two before next freeze would happen. After some time freezes would become more frequent, and then one day windows woudn't even load anymore. I tried to reinstal windows but it would freeze in mid instalation. After few days of trying windows installation woudn't even recognize that HD exist (in that menu where I can format partitions etc). I didn't know what to do, but my friend gave me new HD and I replaced my old, installed same windows on new HD and my pc worked fine. Half year later this same pc (but different HD) having freezes too. But this time it got worse much quicker. Maybe 5 freezes and windows woudn't load anymore. Now when I try to install windows on this one, it will freeze on different places, somtimes even on first few seconds (just as windows is loading files). However when i sometimes get to that format panel, windows will recognize hard disk, I have option to format or install etc, but then later on installation process it will freeze. I still cant 100% comfirm this time its HD fault, but yea...
For my sister and father pc (they both used same windows) I don't have much info except on both I coudn't install windows. On sisters pc I coudn't even start windows installation, on fathers It was same freezing issues in mid windows installations. However I can't comfirm if its HD on both of those because they just bought new pcs.
All of these pcs are old (dual cores 32bit, 1-2gig ram, old graphic cards).
I know I shoudn't use pirated windows, but they cost way too much for my living standard (more then half of my paycheck) so sorry about that. And sorry for long post.
But yea in general my question would be: could issue be this windows? Or is this just super weird coincidence of 4 pcs failing at weird time...
