GameCopyWorld is still around today and still being updated. Looks the same as it did decades ago.

My go-to method was to create a disc image of games from the local library and then use either DaemonTools' copy protection emulation feature or a crack from that site. They had and still have a really good selection of the latest titles (nothing 18+ though, the equivalent of the American M-rating), although it's almost entirely console games now due to mandatory online activation with most PC games.

    I used Alcohol 120%, which was based off DaemonTools. Eventually I learned how to make my own "mini disc images" to load on my virtual CD drive, because some little bit on the CD was all the games installed on hard drive were checking for, with regards to copy protection.

    I experimented with this as well, but since I was keeping full copies of the discs on my hard drives anyway, it was unnecessary in my case. I still have most of these disc images; now on my NAS.
