The article doesn't show much understanding of Nintendo's general trajectory. They've been almost determined to explore the entire spectrum of copy protection, in order of least to most effective. The psychological impact on them has been to increase the paranoia factor in step with this (they're even encrypting saved game content.) I can't really blame them either. It's not optimal and it sucks, but they seem to be approaching working solution which is something they need (in order to sell licenses if nothing else.)
