Yes, Computist is still in business, but they recently moved to a new address
(which I don't happen to have at hand).  Probably letters to the old address
will be forwarded for a while.

A lot of current commercial Apple II software is still copy protected,
although an increasing amount of it is either totally unprotected or
else relies on user verification via external means, such as code wheels.
Computist does contain articles on removing even this relatively benign
form of copy protection, since it is still a hassle to have to go find
the code wheel, or worse yet to try to read numbers from that awful
red-brown (supposedly Xerox resistant) paper.
