I don't think you'd have to do that if you have the encryption keys and all that

Drew hit the nail on the head, in addition by bypassing the encryption they can start making custom cd's that allow for the playing of emulators or somehow being able to unlock the virtual console games in other ways. It's a pretty big step forward if you are interested in "homebrew"

Or you inserting a disc to change the BIOs, and the OS on the Wii, allowing you to read whatever.

It allows you to mod your wii without using a modchip or allows you to play burned items by emulating the keys required to run the game.

It's one thing to crack the hardware via exploit, chip, or backdoor ... it's another to do it by breaking the copy protection. Nintendo is f'ed if this is true.

You can't change the copy protection algorithm. If you do, all previous games with the old key will not work. This is the exact same problem the Dreamcast had.
