Hi
In SEO we try to identify the factors that affect search engine visibility and its ability to generate traffic and then we try to affect those factors positively. A white hat approach is to do it through improving the service the end users get - and to follow the guidelines as stated by search engines. Black hat's aim to do the same thing, but with only one goal - gaming the system to achieve better rankings. Search engines do not like this since it lowers the quality of the results pages since some sites that "only perform well in terms of search ranking alogorythms" are being offered to the search engine users as the top results - what search engines would like to do is offer the best & most useful experiece as the top result instead.
Black hat is not against the law, just againts the search entgine guidelines. Search engines are poor at evaluating whats good and whats not, thats what makes "black hat" posisble in the first place...
