How long before the GC is piarted?
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.

They could be infected with a contagious disease by the previous owner, it could have spy software installed; there are many reasons for not buying games 2nd hand. Am I mad?

It shouldn't effect me too much.
I wont buy any games second hand (unless the games aren't sold anymore) and it they look pirate then I wont buy them.

asrogktjusaetg... rubbish! The DC uses a propietry format that is even more weird than Ninty's... yet that only took 1 year to pirate.
Fact: every console ever made will be pirated... what I am asking is how long will it take? my bet is 7 months

yeah that is what i meant , you have to rip all the files onto your pc then copy them from your hardrive , but you may need a few cds
i reckon it will take at least a year or two due to the discs sophisticated technology...but i could be wrong...

That is absolute rubbish. DVD and CD are two totally different formats - like cassette tapes and records. A CD-R cannot write onto a DVD and trying to claim otherwise is verging on idiotic.
The Gamecube will not be "pirated" for a LONG time as it uses a propriety DVD format. The propriety bit isn't the problem as you can physically cut a DVD smaller and not effect the storage of data on the remaining section (so long as you don't remove index files etc...) What is the problem is that it still costs far too much to write a DVD on a home DVD writer (hardware costs and the blank disks). At the moment it is about three times more expensive to buy a blank DVD that one with a film one it... okay, it is a long time since I checked the prices so they may have fallen a bit.
Anyway, piracy won't happen on the Gamecube for quite a while at it simply isn't clever as original titles would be cheaper than pirated ones.
