Fact: every console is pirayed eventually. Even the N64 with it carts and the DC with its GDs have been pirated. Eventually someone will manage to use a CD-R to fool the console into thinking it is a GC disc... jkust like they have done with the DC.
So how long will this take? My bet is... 7 months after japanese launch.

Kidha! Anyway... u missed the point. DVD cannot be copied on normal CD-R drives!
What happened with the Dc (and what MIGHT happen with the GC) is this:
The DC does not use CD's... it uses GDs... like CD's but designed differently so that only Sega can make them.
What the pirates did was that they took a normal CD, knowing that DCs play audio CDs, and programmed it so that the console thinks that it is a GD, and not a CD. It will then happily play any copied games.
