What exactly is a barcode?
The only reason I'm commenting on this is I have this extremely stupid idea, and I'm sure someone will try it. Okay, here it goes:
Why not rewire the drive part and have it connect to a DVD-rom drive. Then you could burn the image to a DVD and play it. I don't quite get the "barcode" thing, but I guess its a physical bar code that a lazer reads off the disc. If that's all it is, then I know someone will make a mod-chip or something to bypass it. Of course, if this is a real dump, which I'm assuming, the dumper should already know the interface of the CD access and should be able to acomplish this.
Just a though

From a personal perspective I hope that the Pirates do not figure out a way to bypass this barcode protection (at least not for the immediate future).

I have to be curious...why? For me, I don't really go for all the pirating. Maybe here and there I'll try stuff, but 9 out of 10 times I end up buying it. With PS games, I just borrow a game, play it, and give it back. I know companies spend days on end working on games for our enjoyment, and I think they need the money...sometimes
(You're probably asking why I can say this when I have Roms, right? Well, Mom won't let me get any console AT ALL. She says that a computer is enough...so I wait 10 years, and download the roms and enjoy the games.)

I have been reading by some time that iso's can be taken from Gamecube disks. I personally don't believe all that, but well... time will say

Acutally, you can run code without the barcode in the center. The other day Crazy Nation[CZN] released a program to run unsigned code on a Gamecube as long as it is under 2MB. This allows burn games such as Freeloaded and ActionReply to run. Using a hack in PSO and dialing in they are able to achieve this.

Uh-oh...this doesn't bode well for poor nintendo. lain:

If anything, to crack it, play illegal games on it or do emulators for it, yes. But I can't see for what else.

You ever heard of Babelfish, Google Language Tools or one of the other million or so translation utilities on the net?
I do not want this hacking to cause the Gamecube to play pirated games. Sure it will as AlphaWolf states improve sales of the GC - but with Consoles sold as loss makers with the manufacturer making money from games sold; it doesn't bode well umpteen thousand Kazaa Kiddies buying one.

Nintendo breaks even on eahc console due to new maufacturing locations [switched to Taiwan] PS2 gains $18 and Xbox losses about $50

Does that include shipping costs and promotion? Besides breaking even doesn't really change my point too much - the basic fact is that making piracy rife on the GC will just mean that the pirates purchase one exclusively to play pirated games on.
