NoCD cracks are intended for piracy, but there's generally nothing stopping you from using them with legitimate copies of games.

NoCD cracks are intended for piracy, but there's generally nothing stopping you from using them with legitimate copies of games.
- ovi256 17y agoI've seen this question raised so many times on games forums, that I speculate more CD cracks are used by legitimate users than pirates.
- plorkyeran 17y agoWhile there's certainly a nontrivial number of legitimate users that use CD cracks, I highly doubt they're the majority. Reports on PC game piracy rates vary greatly, but they tend to be in the range of 40-90%. Even at the low end of 40%, you'd need two-thirds of the legitimate users using cracks just to have equal numbers of legitimate and illegitimate. If the piracy rate is over 50%, then it's flat out impossible.
