Sony will be taken to task by RIAA for DCMA violations against the copy protection on the cd...
...actually, that's a court case I'd like to see. Two big, high expense leagal teams battling it out instead of the David vs Goliath affairs that don't seem to stand much of a chance.
Would the device still be violating the DCMA if instead of using a base that can accept flash cartridges or standard GBA's the flash cartridges used a port on themselves to hook up to the pc? You could still transfer to and from the flash carts at will, use them in a GBA, but you would not be able to read standard GBA roms directly. You'd get 100% legitimate (sans your right to backup the standard roms) use out of the unit, while pulling NOA's DCMA carpet out from under them.
