no cd patchs are illegal. We all know that. All EULAs imply that is illegal to dissamble a game exe.
Then again the acceptance of cd patchs in gamershell is not that clear, I mean, they publish nude patchs too (which most of the time violate the same rules than the no cd's patch)
Still for developers nude patchs are not that bad...but no cd's patchs are responsible for the most of the piracy(except clone cds of course).
But for gamershell own's sake they should close and delete all no_cd crack threads.....just in case....
Besides...there is nothing that you couldn't get with a nice google search or Edonkey *Hint*
