Why is it though that it states that playing backups or imports will not be allowed/supported? Or am I just reading that wrong?

Will Crystal Chip allow me to play copied (aka "backups") or import games?

Crystal Chip will not allow you to play copied or import games. While it does allow you to read "burned" media discs, we have specifically designed our software patches to disallow the execution of game discs. There are 2 main reasons for this. The first reason is that in many countries, it is illegal to play copied and/or import game discs even if you own the original disc. The second reason is that Crystal Chip is intended for legally launching "homebrew" software. Due to the aforementioned legal problems, we felt it best to keep any questionably-legal features out of the Crystal Chip design so as not to become confused with so-called "modchip" devices which have been deemed illegal in some countries. While we understand that many people use these devices to legitimately back up their game discs or play import software which is not available in their region, we also respect the fact that different people are subjected to different laws in regard to consumer rights.
I suppose by upgrading the firmware it should be alright eh?

Also it seems that $ony implemented a new protection to not allow non-$ony memory cards from being used. Is this right? I'm not sure if I'm reading this properly....
