I'd say it depends entirely on the country.
In Germany, you're not only entitled to make a copy for yourself, but also a copy for up to 7 close people (family and friends)  if there's no kind of DRM involved.
Though it's not allowed to download a copy from the internet. It must be a copy from your own CD/DVD/cartridge/file.

About PCSX 2 though, since when does it require a DVD? An image of the game used to be enough and I don't think that has changed.

My bad, I'm still too trusting :/ I thought pscx 2 required game discs yet it seems to support ripped versions too.

This form of emulation is still shut down regularly

At least on older versions of PCSX 2, there was no point in playing the PS2 discs from your drive as that would negatively impact your framerate by quite a bit. Also I remember PCSX 2 (or one of its plug-ins)having a feature to rip your PS2 discs without having to use a different program. If that isn't facilitating piracy, I don't know what is lol
