There's no way they'd be telling ol' Nintendo about you having a fake game or not. The whole deal is exactly that your system thinks it's got a legit copy, else it wouldn't work. And even if they were reporting it to Ninny, the cops wouldn't come looking for you until you exploit like say thousands of your currency. It's illegal to copy games, sure, but they wouldn't bother trying to bust
every little piracy in the act - that would for one fill up the prisons with more people than could ever fit in, even if the rest of the world was slave-laboured into building more prisons, and it would be a waste of time and effort. There's bigger criminals to catch and worse things to penalise. Also, if you're really bothered about it, you could always turn your wireless communications off when playing like a pirate, though I guess the ultimate work-around is indeed to just play it safe and buy it legal. But seriously, the authorities won't come knocking on your door for a few pirated games. I'm sure of that; the majority of this community wouldn't even be here if that were the case.

And I still find it curious how a glitch in a game could cause you to be able to start ripping other games. Even more curious, I find, is how anyone managed to find this out!
