My bet is that the qcube will be hacked in the same way as the DC. I won't explain how that was doone because it would take more than 3 lines.
Nothing about copied games there...
Its gonna be hard to play copied games on a normal cube though...these small discs that Ninty use aint exactly in mass production. You can get them mini-cds like the one Nintendo made to use on your PC but they only hold a few hundred megabytes...
Apparetly it could be possible on the Panasonic Q though...

To answre your question Game:
1) Files are not automatically run off the memory card when the console is turned on. So, you put in an import game, console can't read it, nothing happens. The memory card doesn't come into the boot process.
2) Even if it were possible, they don't want people to do what you said: copy friend's CD's memory saves!

What gets me, is that if this is so easy to do, why can't they make a GameCube Disc that puts a file on your Memory Card (Like the PS2 DVD player) so you can play Import Games without having to put the disc in every time. That way, you could bowwo a mates, give him a fiver (or not) and have a Fully Un-Modded GameCube that plays all Japanese and US games.

Excellent- importing without the hastle of chipping...
However, it won't raise legal suits for the company. You see, when chip companies are brought to court, the charge is that their chips can be used to play COPIED games as well as imports and "Back ups". Hence they can't get away with it.
If Datel (who have plenty of experience) do things right, the unit won't be able to play copies, just imports. Which, as Ninty and Sega found out in the Codemasters fiasco of years ago, isn't illegal because it's a game cheat cart!
