(rumor) Nintendo 3DS flashcard support is a TRAP

But can it tell the difference between legitimate (and perfectly legal) homebrew applications, and piracy?

I'm afraid not.

The 3DS logs every game card you put into the system. I don't know how a flash card is displayed internally on the 3DS, but I'm sure it will not be recognized as an official game.

Then all 3DS owners should know their rights, and everyone bricked (whether they were bricked for piracy or homebrew) should sue, to bog Nintendo down as revenge. Class-action preferred

As I said before... I really believe that Nintendo won't brick consoles, exactly for the reason you mentioned. It would get them a lot of trouble in the form of lawsuits.

I'm sure they'll think of some form of sanction, but probably not very drastic.
