CD's are quickly becoming obsolete media. Don't forget that it is not just a no CD patch that is required to run pirated software--very often producers of games have more ways to check if the copy is valid.
No CD Patches

Nope. I have a vast knowledge about the Patches. No CD Patches are Illegal. But, i use Daemon tools to backup my files. When i lose an .exe, .bin, etc; I get a backup from DT.
Still, i really don't support using No CD Patches as they can contain Viruses that can spread all over your Computer and Delete all Files having .Executables and the next day you turn on the PC, you're computer is headless by word. It cannot Execute any Programs. It has again a big process to re-create those .exe's. But, you can't do it for all the programs.
So, It's better than having original one(CD/DVD) than having something which ensures you that you don't require a CD/DVD to run the Program which later damages your Computer..
BTW, you can request the game's/Program's producers online to get a new copy of the .exe of it or You Can Request any Sort of help for the lost files from them. Don't ever be fooled with the Patches Like that.
Sorry, I really don't support using them.

From my experience posting on the official CM forums, No CD cracks are illegal, I'd never use them, because I have the disk, and moving my hand 1 foot to the right, open the case, pop the button thing, move my hand 1 foot to the left, open tray, put cd in, close tray. Hardly difficult.
Like KB, I don't support using them either. Infact I'd say it'd be bad for PC to discuss this.

Although a good point made that NO CD patches may often crash the system but those who do not have disk space on the hard disk would not mind a NO CD patch rather than having to create image file to be loaded into virtual image by Daemon tools, Virtual CD or Winmage.
They are illegal if you own a pirated copy and not a original. I had a very bad experience of my NHL 2002 (Rs. 1200) being rendered useless due to constant putting of the cd whenever i started the game. Since then i have made point to look for nocd patches if i can find them online.

Well it got damaged due to heating of the cd inside the CD Drive. The drive was Sony 52X best in its class and never has damaged any CD.
once my World Cup 2006, Germany CD wasn't working, I had to buy a new one.
I never patch my games. I have all right CDS!
I will not spend money on one game again and again. After playing game for 30 days i cant seem to find energy to play again unless its a good RPG title. The longest i have ever played a sports game was NBA Live 07. Cricket titles suck big time.
